Two Hamilton men are facing charges in connection with a drug trafficking investigation, say the Sarnia Police Service.
The vice unit had been investigating “the trafficking of large amounts of cocaine and fentanyl” from an address on Rayburne Avenue, north of London Road, in Sarnia, police said.
Members of the vice unit and officers from general patrol executed a search warrant just before 1 a.m. Saturday. Officers said they seized 594 grams of powdered fentanyl valued at $118,000, 138 grams of cocaine valued at $15,180, and $14,730 in cash.
“This seizure of fentanyl has been the Service’s largest seizure on record,” police said in a statement.
Police add that officers also seized blenders, which they believe were used to mix fentanyl with other substances, in the “cutting process.”
Two men were arrested, an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old, and charged with two counts of possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking. The 18-year-old was also wanted on outstanding warrants in Hamilton, Windsor and London, police said.
