Calgary gang member, convicted killer charged in drug bust: "convicted killer with long ties to a Calgary gang has been charged with several drug-related offences.
Investigators targeting street-level drug dealing in Albert Park and Radisson Heights arrested Vuthy Kong early Wednesday evening during a traffic stop in neighbouring Forest Lawn.
Officers checked Kong's vehicle and subsequently searched his home on Radcliffe Close S.E. early Thursday.
Police said they found ecstasy, marijuana, marijuana oil and small amounts of the powerful prescription painkiller oxycodone.
The investigation began after Alberta Sheriffs shut down a drug house in the 2000 block of 38th Street S.E. last month and passed along information about Kong to Calgary police.
'He was one of the people dropping off drugs at that residence,' Calgary police Sgt. Mark Hatchette said.
Police then targeted Kong, said Hatchette, and allegedly saw him supplying narcotics to other drug houses in the area.
Police said they found 44 grams of hash oil and 20 grams of ecstasy packed in a small container in Kong's home.
They believe the container's intended use was to smuggle drugs into a jail -- usually done by hiding it in a body cavity."
