Guelph police say a 38-year-old Toronto man is facing drug trafficking charges after officers seized over $20,000 in drugs on Saturday.
Police were in the area of Auden and Eastview roads when they say they spotted a man wanted by Waterloo Regional Police walking into a townhouse.
A warrant had been issued for his arrest on charges of assault and driving while prohibited. When the man tried to leave 30 minutes later, police moved in and quickly arrested him.
The service added that the suspect tried to hide something in his vehicle as officers approached.
Officers searched the vehicle and found a leather satchel which they say contained 85 grams of purple fentanyl, 5.6 grams of black tar heroin, 1.5 grams of crack cocaine and 30 grams of marijuana.
The drugs have a total value of $20,408, police said.
The man is charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and breaching his probation.
He remains in custody and scheduled to make a court appearance for a bail hearing on Monday.
