A Guelph man has been charged after a pair of people were found sleeping in the garage of an empty home in the city’s northwest end.

Last Friday, police said they were called to a home near Speedvale Avenue and Metcalfe Street.

Officers found a man and a woman sleeping next to drug paraphernalia in a detached garage.

When he was asked to come outside, investigators said the man was seen taking pieces of folded tinfoil out of his pockets before placing them on a chair.

The pockets reportedly contained suspected fentanyl.

Police said they recognized the man, who was already wanted on previous criminal charges, and placed him under arrest.

A search then led to investigators finding suspected crack cocaine, a large amount of cash and a scale among other items on the accused.
