Drug enforcement officers in Durham Region made the announcement on Tuesday, saying a “large quantity” of drugs had been seized.
Durham Regional Police said a joint investigation with Brantford police in May and June had probed cocaine trafficking. The work led to search warrants in Whitby, Toronto and Paris, Ont.
As a result of the searches, police alleged, 14 kgs of cocaine were seized, along with some MDMA, methamphetamine, fentanyl and prescription drugs. The total value is around $700,000, according to police.
