Both are scheduled to appear in Alberta Court of Justice in Cochrane on June 16. Harbar was remanded into custody, while Ervin was released under conditions.

RCMP said evidence gathered during the Canmore search led to a second investigation involving residences in Calgary.

With assistance from the Calgary Police Service District 7 Operations Team and the Gun Violence Enforcement Team, investigators identified two Calgary homes allegedly connected to drug trafficking.

On May 27, Cochrane RCMP CRU officers, supported by the RCMP Emergency Response Team and Calgary police, executed search warrants at both locations.

Police seized an additional half-kilogram of cocaine and fentanyl, more than 1,100 synthetic opioid tablets and a prohibited firearm.

Aaron Cahoon, 30, of Calgary, was charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Jordan Nyiro, 31, of Calgary, was charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, trafficking fentanyl and several firearms-related offences, including unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon.

Following judicial interim release hearings, both men were remanded into custody and are scheduled to appear in Alberta Court of Justice in Calgary on June 5.

In total, investigators seized:

1,186 grams of suspected fentanyl
915 grams of suspected cocaine
2,895 suspected counterfeit opioid pills
Seven grams of suspected methamphetamine
One semi-automatic rifle
Two prohibited magazines containing 30 rounds each

RCMP estimate the street value of the drugs and other seized items at approximately $490,000.

“The Alberta RCMP remains committed to engaging with our partners to target prolific offenders and disrupt criminal behaviour,” said Cochrane RCMP Detachment Commander Insp. Dave Brunner.

“These seizures demonstrate our continued focus on holding offenders accountable and removing dangerous substances from our communities.”
