Guelph police say a man and a woman are facing drug trafficking charges after finding over $12,000 in cocaine and fentanyl while carrying out a search warrant in the city’s north end on Thursday.
Officers with the drug enforcement and tactical units barged into a commercial property in the area of Woodlawn Road and Woolwich Street at around 8 a.m. and arrested the two, police said.
Police said they found a cache of drugs including 106 grams of cocaine, worth about $10,600, and 6.5 grams of fentanyl, worth about $1,500. Officers also say they found some crystal meth and 47 pills of benzodiazepine.
Three scales were also seized along with $1,385 in Canadian currency, a folding knife, large mixing bowls, a Magic Bullet blender, food colouring and a cutting agent.
A 42-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man have been charged with three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and one count of possession. The woman was also charged with three counts of breaching a court order.
They were not named by Guelph police and were held in custody pending a bail hearing.
