Brendan Crawley says the charges were dropped because there was no longer a reasonable prospect of conviction.

Prempeh was among five people charged with drug and gun-related offences in July after police executed search warrants in a northwest Toronto neighbourhood.

Charges against two 18-year-old men were withdrawn earlier this week.

A 20-year-old man and a 17-year-old who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act were also charged in the case but there is no word if those charges will also be withdrawn.
