York Regional Police say they have laid charges against two people after millions of dollars worth of cocaine were seized during a search of a storage locker and home.
Police said an investigation dubbed Project Aries began in September 2022 into suspects believed to be in possession of large amounts of cocaine.
In January 2023, a search warrant was executed at a storage locker in Vaughan and a residence in Richmond Hill.
During the searches, police said officers found cocaine with a street value of $8.9 million. They also seized $260,000 in cash and $100,000 in luxury clothing, police added.
Two suspects were arrested at the residence, investigators said.
Investigators have charged 30-year-old Alisha Kokko and 39-year-old William Phung. They are charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession proceeds of crime.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact police.
