Routine fire inspection alerts Calgary police to major drug-trafficking operation

Four people face numerous criminal charges after police seized almost $175,000 worth of drugs from three Calgary residences following a tip from a fire inspector.

In March, police were called to a house in the 100 block of Paramount Drive N.W. when a fire inspector noticed drugs and drug related items believed to be consistent with drug trafficking in the home.

After a lengthy investigation, police carried out a search warrant at the home and three other addresses, discovering drugs worth more than $174,450, including:

• 2.12 kilograms of methamphetamines.
• 667 grams of cocaine.
• 54 grams of fentanyl.
• 59 MDMA pills.

Liang Ho Chiu, 23, Pit Sing Chiu, 52, Amy Zhi Liang, 51, and Nathaniel Hung Wong, 22, each are charged with several drug-trafficking related charges.
