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.
A 30-year-old will make an appearance in a courtroom in Guelph on Feb. 9.
