Largest fentanyl seizure in OPP history made in southern Ontario

Ontario Provincial Police are calling it one of the largest fentanyl seizures they have made.

An estimated $6.5 million in illegal drugs was seized during a drug-trafficking investigation in Windsor.

Police say the seizure included 46 kg of fentanyl, 3.4 kg of cocaine and one kilogram of heroin.

They say the amount of fentanyl seized was enough for approximately 460,000 street-level doses.

“Fentanyl is a national enforcement priority. We are working with our partners across Ontario, and beyond, to stop the flow of this deadly drug into the communities we serve,” states OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique in a release.

Forty-six thousand hydromorphone tablets, 190 oxycodone tablets, 360 morphine tablets, 470 benzodiazepine tablets, 35 amphetamine tablets and over 181 kg of caffeine, police say, is often used as a cutting agent in the processing of illicit drugs, were also discovered.

Digital scales and other drug-related equipment, along with $170,000 in Canadian cash and $220 in US currency, were also seized.

Two men, one from Windsor and another from Vancouver, were arrested.
