Two men are facing a series of gun, drug and theft-related charges after police responded to reports of suspicious activity in a southwest Calgary community early Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Calgary police say officers were called after receiving reports of people checking vehicle door handles around 2:15 a.m. on Creekside Grove SW in the community of Pine Creek.<\/p>\n

Responding officers found the suspects nearby and took two men into custody.<\/p>\n

During the investigation, police seized a loaded 9 mm handgun, nearly 18 grams of methamphetamine, a cellphone, a set of BMW keys, and a garage door opener.<\/p>\n

As a result of the investigation, 32-year-old Wilfred Bronson Barrett was charged with five offences, including possessing a firearm while prohibited, possessing a restricted firearm, possessing a firearm without a licence, obstruction, and possession of methamphetamine.<\/p>\n
