A police investigation into a “known suspended driver” in Hamilton resulted in multiple drug charges and the seizure of what they believe to be heroin and fentanyl.

Police say shortly before 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, they observed a black 2010 Honda Civic in the area of King Street East and Holton Avenue being driven by a 36-year-old woman, who they say had a suspended licence.

Hamilton police say they noticed two rear passengers attempting to conceal unknown items, which the officers say they later identified as “a digital scale and a clear baggie, both containing a white powder residue.”
