Guelph police say a traffic stop on Sunday morning led officers to over $2,000 worth of purple fentanyl.
According to a news release, an officer spotted a vehicle driving in a “suspicious manner” in the area of Speedvale Avenue and Brentwood Drive at around 10 a.m.
“The vehicle skid into a curb, quickly reversed causing the tires to squeal and then quickly accelerated into a nearby driveway,” Const. Kyle Grant said.
