Fifteen people and a Calgary business have been charged following a cross-border, $55-million drug bust.
It's believed they were moving cocaine and methamphetamine produced by Mexican cartels to Alberta, police say.
The investigation, dubbed "Project Cobra," involved Calgary police, U.S. Homeland Security, and officers in Niagara, Ont., Saskatchewan, and Osoyoos, B.C.
Meth and cocaine bound for Alberta were seized in Wyoming, Los Angeles, Lake Koocanusa, B.C., and North Battleford, Sask.
About $7 million worth of property has been seized or placed under criminal restraint.
