Guelph police say they have arrested a wanted 25-year-old man in connection with a drug trafficking investigation from March when officers found nearly $5,000 in cocaine and crystal meth.

Officers spotted the suspect at around 1:30 a.m. on Friday walking up the driveway of a home in the Guelph Street and Willow Road area, police said in a news release

“Officers know the occupants of the home to be involved in the drug subculture,” police said.

The man was stopped by police and arrested in connection with an investigation in March when police found over $5,000 in drugs as well as weapons in a vehicle near Speedvale Avenue and Woolwich Street.
