Over $200K in illegal drugs seized in Thunder Bay
A southern Ontario man is facing drug-trafficking charges related to a police investigation in the Thunder Bay area that began this fall.
The Ontario Provincial Police-led Provincial Guns and Gangs Enforcement Team (PGNG), which includes members from the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service (NAPS) and the Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS), launched the probe into the alleged selling of illegal drugs.
Their efforts led to the arrest of a 39-year-old from Scarborough near Highway 11/17 and Dawson Road.
Police seized 230 grams of suspected fentanyl, 680 g of suspected cocaine, 200 g of suspected crack cocaine and two cellphones.
Police estimate the street value of the drugs seized to be more than $202,500.
The man remains in custody pending a bail hearing on New Year’s Eve.
