2 charged in Calgary drug and weapon seizure in June

A man and a woman charged in connection with a police seizure of firearms and drugs during the search of a residence and vehicle in June will appear in court later this month.

The charges stem from a police investigation following reports late last month of a man suspected of violating court-ordered prohibitions on drug and gun possession.
