Calgary man facing charges after allegedly selling drugs near Drop-In Centre

A 42-year-old man is facing numerous drug and firearms related charges following a Calgary Police investigation.

A months-long police investigation has led to drug and weapons charges against a Calgary man after officers seized drugs, cash, jewelry, and a loaded gun from multiple locations.

In September, Calgary police began investigating a man suspected of selling drugs in the East Village near the Calgary Drop-In Centre.

Officers observed the suspect driving a Mercedes Benz to and from a storage facility in the community of Inglewood, where he was seen engaging in what appeared to be drug trafficking.

Investigators later confirmed the man had rented a unit at the facility and had accessed it frequently for short periods.

Police obtained search warrants and seized multiple items from the storage unit, the suspect’s residence in the East Village, and the Mercedes Benz.

Seizures from the storage unit included:

  • A loaded handgun
  • 1.3 kilograms of cocaine
  • 32.6 grams of fentanyl
  • 141.4 grams of methamphetamine
  • 70.9 grams of suspected MDMA
  • 357 pills suspected to be fentanyl
  • 5.9 kilograms of buffering agent
  • Drug packaging materials and a digital scale

Seizures from the residence included:

  • Two cell phones
  • $885 cash and a currency counter
  • Jewelry believed to be proceeds of crime, valued at approximately $300,000
  • Rolex authentication paperwork
  • Suspected MDMA and cocaine

Seizures from the Mercedes Benz:

  • One cell phone
  • Ray-Ban Meta glasses
  • Rolex authentication paperwork

As a result, Co Vi Huynh, 42, of Calgary, is facing seven charges related to drug trafficking and weapon possession. He is scheduled to appear in court in January.

Police are asking anyone with information to call 403-266-1245 or submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers.
