Police say a Bracebridge, Ont., couple left something behind during their stay in the Royal City — thousands of dollars worth of illicit drugs.

The Guelph Police Service was called to a hotel in the north end of the city on New Year’s Day.

Investigators say hotel staff were cleaning out a room when they discovered a sock left inside.

They say inside the sock were suspected cocaine, fentanyl, heroin and prescription opioids with an estimated value of $11,100.

The investigation resulted in a man and a woman being arrested on Tuesday by police in another jurisdiction and they were brought back to Guelph.
