Guelph police say a group of volunteers made a concerning discovery on Saturday as part of the city’s annual Clean and Green community cleanup.
Officers were called to Grange Road Park after a group found a large stash of drugs and shotgun ammunition.
Const. Chris Probst said they found 130 unspent 12 gauge shotgun shells as well as drugs, including marijuana, crack, heroin and acid.
The drugs have an estimated value of $7,000, according to Probst.
He added it’s difficult to tell how long the items had been there for, but because the drugs had not shown too much decay, he estimated they were recently left there.
Probst said another significant concern comes from the recent threat of fatal opioids, such as fentanyl or carfentanil.
