Police say they seized a crossbow and $12,500 worth of cocaine as they arrested a man and woman in Guelph, Ont., over the weekend.

Guelph police say their investigation began after they received a tip about a man peddling cocaine earlier this summer.

Officers allegedly observed the man performing behaviour consistent with that of a drug dealer, according to police.

They say on Friday at around 5: 30 p.m., police raided a home in Guelph after arresting a man and woman as they were entering the residence.
