The Calgary Police Service is seeking public assistance in identifying two people responsible for a recent robbery in the northeast.
At approximately 8:40 p.m., on Sunday, Jan. 22, 2012, a woman was parked in front of a residence in the 200 block of Fallswater Road N.E., when she noticed a group of men standing near a vehicle that was parked in the middle of the road.
The men eventually walked past her vehicle and the car drove away. Feeling more comfortable, the woman got out of her car and walked to the passenger side to retrieve some belongings. As soon as the woman grabbed her purse from the seat and closed the door, she heard someone running towards her. The woman was accosted by the two men who had walked by her only moments before. Both men pulled out knives and while one of the men held the knife to the victim’s throat, the other put his knife to her abdomen and demanded she hand over her purse.
The victim, who was not injured, complied and the offenders ran off.
The first suspect is described as possibly of Middle Eastern descent, approximately 16 to 20 years-old, 5’10” tall, with a heavy build. He had brown spiked hair and brown eyes. He was wearing dark grey pants and a bomber-style jacket. He also spoke with an accent.
The second suspect is also described as possibly of Middle Eastern descent, approximately 15 years old, 5’2” tall, weighing approximately 110 lbs., with a slim build and thin face.

At the time of the offence he was wearing baggy sweatpants that were dark-green or dark-blue in colour, with a waist-length, dark winter jacket with an elasticized waistband.
The vehicle seen before the robbery is a dark-blue, four-door car with rectangular headlights and taillights. It’s possible the vehicle was a 2000 to 2002 Honda Civic or 2000 to 2002 Volkswagon Jetta.

Cited from ctvcalgary.ca
Alberta Health Services (AHS) has issued an alert regarding the use of the street drug Ecstasy for the Calgary area.
The health alert was prompted by the recent deaths of two young adults in the Calgary area.
The source and amount of the drug on the street is unknown.
AHS officials say that although toxicology tests have not been concluded for all of the cases, preliminary results indicate that Ecstasy or a combination of toxic substances sold on the street as Ecstasy is likely the cause of three recent Calgary-area deaths.
"People need to be aware of the extreme danger of ingesting this drug," says Dr. Judy MacDonald, Medical Officer of Health, Calgary Zone. "Ecstasy is not only capable of making people very sick, but this drug can kill."
Two of the deaths were in the weeks leading up to the holidays and involved a 18-year-old man and 25-year-old man.
AHS says in addition, over 100 people have been treated for Ecstasy-related health concerns since April 2011.
