Man charged after almost $18K in fentanyl, cocaine seized: Guelph police

A 27-year-old man has been arrested and charged after Guelph police say officers seized almost $18,000 in fentanyl and cocaine on Tuesday.

In a news release, police said a drug-trafficking investigation started last month after officers saw some suspicious activity in the area of Greengate Road and Silvercreek Parkway.

Police didn’t get into specifics but said it was “consistent with drug trafficking.”

This led to a search warrant being carried out at a house on Greengate Road on Tuesday evening by the drug and tactics units.
