Calgary Couple Charged in Major Drug Investigation
A Calgary couple is now facing serious drug-related charges following an extensive, months-long investigation conducted by the Calgary Police Service. The investigation culminated in a significant seizure of controlled substances and cash from a residential property in the city's northwest quadrant.
Months-Long Investigation Uncovers Alleged Trafficking Operation
The Calgary Police Service initiated their investigation in September 2025 after undercover officers identified a man they suspected was involved in the illegal drug trade. According to police authorities, the investigation spanned several months, during which officers observed behavior consistent with drug trafficking activities.
"We launched an investigation and over the next three months, observed the suspect engaging in behaviour consistent with drug trafficking," stated the Calgary Police Service in an official news release issued on Monday.
Substantial Seizure from Northwest Calgary Residence
On January 22, 2026, police executed a search warrant at a home located in the 2300 block of 25 Avenue N.W. in Calgary. During the search operation, officers made a substantial discovery that included:
- 307 grams of cocaine with an estimated street value of $30,000
- Approximately $39,000 in Canadian currency
- 160 tablets of an unknown substance requiring further analysis
- Packaging materials commonly associated with drug distribution
- Digital scales for measuring controlled substances
- A money-counting machine
- Multiple cellular phones
The combination of these items, according to law enforcement officials, suggests a sophisticated drug trafficking operation rather than simple personal possession.
Charges Filed Against Calgary Residents
Following the search and seizure, police arrested two individuals who now face multiple criminal charges. The accused have been identified as:
- Jamike Nwofor, 39, of Calgary
- Brittany Nwofor, 36, of Calgary
Both individuals have been charged with:
- Possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking
- Possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000
Additionally, Jamike Nwofor faces an extra charge of trafficking cocaine, reflecting what police describe as his alleged central role in the operation.
Ongoing Investigation and Public Assistance
The Calgary Police Service continues to investigate this case and is seeking additional information from the public. Authorities have provided multiple channels for community members to share relevant information:
- Direct contact with police at 403-266-1234
- Anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477
- Online submissions via the Crime Stoppers website
- Tips through the P3 Tips mobile application
This case represents another significant enforcement action in Calgary's ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking and organized crime within the community. The substantial quantity of cocaine seized, combined with the sophisticated equipment found at the residence, indicates what police believe was a substantial distribution network operating within the city.
The charges against the Calgary couple highlight the continued vigilance of law enforcement in identifying and dismantling drug operations that threaten community safety. As the legal process moves forward, authorities emphasize their commitment to pursuing similar investigations that target the supply chain of illegal substances in Alberta's largest city.
