A Calgary police officer has been found not guilty of stealing drugs seized as evidence in an investigation.
Robert Cumming was charged with theft under $5,000, possession of a controlled substance and a breach of trust on June 3, 2016.
Police say he took marijuana following an investigation in November 2015 and kept it for himself instead of turning it in as evidence.
A judge ruled Tuesday that it wasn't clear if Cumming planned to keep the drugs or he intended to file them as evidence at a later date.
He was acquitted of the charges.
