They said several people working together recruited others to use fake IDs to submit and collect fraudulent prescriptions.
Police arrested the accused on Tuesday and a search led to them finding a weapon on him as well.
He’s been charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and conspiracy to traffic in a controlled substance, making a false document, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and carrying a concealed weapon.
The investigation remains ongoing.
He’s scheduled to make an appearance in a Guelph court in July.
