Police seize $10 million in cocaine and meth

Share On

A Calgary man is facing charges after nearly 100 kilograms of cocaine and meth was seized from a vehicle in southern Alberta last week.

Calgary police say the bust resulted from an investigation launched in November 2019 into a man thought to be involved in drug trafficking across Canada.

Officers stopped the suspect Thursday while he was driving near Dorothy, Alta. about an hour and a half east of Calgary.

The suspect was taken into custody and police say a search of the vehicle revealed nearly 47 kilograms of cocaine bricks and 48 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine.

Staff Sgt. Kyle Grant says the seizure was likely one of the biggest for the force in the past 20 years.

Thirty three year old Jacob Neumann is charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.

Trump signs funding bill to end record 43-day U.S. government shutdown

President Donald Trump has signed a long-delayed government funding bill, formally ending the United States’ record 43-day shutdown that left hundreds of thousands of federal employees without pay and disrupted key public services. The bill cleared the U.S. House of Representatives late Thursday by a narrow 222–209 vote, largely along party lines. Democrats had pressed to include an extension of an enhanced tax credit that reduces health insurance costs under the Affordable Care Act. Republicans rejected that demand, arguing the issue should be debated separately, allowing the spending mea
