By LETHBRIDGE POLICE SERVICE on June 17, 2022.

Lethbridge Police have charged a Calgary man and seized drugs with a value of more than $337,000 following a drug trafficking investigation Wednesday.
The 553.2 grams of fentanyl seized June 15 surpasses the previous largest, single seizure of that drug by Lethbridge Police on June 7 of 478 grams.
Members of the Crime Suppression Team (CST) and Property Crimes Unit (PCU) began an investigation after observing activities consistent with drug trafficking.
A drug search warrant was obtained and members of the CST and PCU, with the assistance of the Traffic Response Unit, arrested a male without incident in the 300 block of Mayor Magrath Drive North.
As a result of searching his vehicle and a residence in the 1900 block of 12 Avenue South, police seized the fentanyl, 3,597.5 grams of methamphetamine — which is one of the largest seizures of that drug locally — and 192.5 grams of cocaine, as well as $14,085 cash (proceeds of crime).
Danny Truong, 22, has been charged with three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking a controlled substance, and one count of possession of the proceeds of crime over $5,000.
He remains in custody while awaiting a Judicial Interim Release hearing.
No further details are being released at this time.
