Jun 28, 2017 | 8:59 AM

CALGARY – Two people are facing dozens of charges after tips from the public about alleged trafficking led to the seizure of a variety of drugs, guns, ammunition and cash.

The charges follow an investigation that started in late May after information surfaced about suspected trafficking out of a home in a southeast neighbourhood.

Police say the residence and a vehicle were searched last Thursday when officers seized drugs that included marijuana, psilocybin, crystal methamphetamine, crack cocaine and oxycodone.

The weaponry included a tactical rifle, high-calibre ammunition and a stun stick.
