A well-being check ended with the seizure of thousands of dollars in illicit drugs.
The Guelph Police Service was notified about a vehicle parked at the side of the road near Downey Road and Laird Road West around 1 a.m. Monday.
Investigators say officers arrived to find the two occupants asleep in the vehicle.
They say a woman was found to be wanted on charges of theft and was arrested. A man was seen stepping away from the vehicle and trying to discard what they believed to be a controlled substance, according to police.
Police say they searched the vehicle and discovered $75,000 worth of suspected fentanyl and crystal methamphetamine.
A 49-year-old man from Kirkland Lake and a 38-year-old Guelph woman are both facing charges. They were released after having bail hearings and both will be back in court Sept. 25.
