“In addition, officers seized more than 50 rounds of 9mm and .38 Special ammunition stored unsafely throughout the residence, along with almost $2,000 in Canadian currency,” police said.
Three men were charged after the bust. Two 45-year-old men and one 46-year-old man are each facing five counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and one count of careless storage of ammunition.
“We will continue to seize fentanyl and other deadly drugs in our region and charge those engaged in trafficking on our streets,” said York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween. “We will enforce the law while working with our community partners to address the issues surrounding this growing problem.”
