Guelph police say $1,100 worth of cocaine and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy) has been seized, and two men are facing trafficking charges as part of undercover operation.
The investigation into a suspected drug dealer started in December when undercover officers were able to purchase four grams of cocaine, worth about $400, according to a news release.
Police said arrangements were then made to purchase $700 worth of MDMA and cocaine in a parking lot on Scottsdale Drive on Wednesday.
