Drug Trafficking Arrest
Earlier this year Saugeen Shores Police Service with the assistance of the Criminal Investigations Unit conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle in the area of Bricker Street and Gustavus Street.
As a result of the investigation a 30-year-old male from Brampton was arrested and charged with the following offences:
- Possession of Schedule 1 Substance for the purpose of Trafficking - Cocaine
- Possession of Schedule 1 Substance for the purpose of Trafficking- Methamphetamine
- Possession of Schedule 1 Substance for the purpose of Trafficking - Fentanyl (opioid)
The accused was held for a bail hearing where he was remanded into custody. He was later released from custody on a Release Order by the courts.
Samples of the drugs seized were sent for analysis and confirmed to be Cocaine, Methamphetamine and Fluorofentanyl.
(Fluorofentanyl can be up to 2 times as strong as fentanyl, which itself is approximately 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine.)
