LETHBRIDGE, AB – A 23-year-old man from Calgary is facing 52 charges after being apprehended by Lethbridge Police Service (LPS).

Just before 1:00 am on Saturday, January 11th, police were called to the 600 block of 12 B Street North on reports that a man and a woman tried to break into two homes.

The pair were located a short distance later as they were allegedly trying the doors of St. Peters Church.

According to LPS, the woman was cooperative with police, but the man reportedly provided a false name.

“During a search incidental to arrest police seized drug paraphernalia and a large quantity of drugs including suspected fentanyl, carfentanil, methamphetamine, heroin and a variety of pills (all scheduled substances under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act).”
