By West Northumberland Independent staff
Northumberland OPP says police have seized suspected fentanyl, meth and cannabis after speed enforcement efforts on Hwy. 401 led to a drug investigation.
On Aug. 27, at about 10:45 a.m., officers were conducted speed enforcement in the Hwy. 401 westbound area in the Municipality of Brighton and clocked a passenger vehicle at 145 km/h, said OPP.
“The driver initially failed to stop when directed by police,” said police, adding that the vehicle was later stopped, at which point, officers initiated a drug investigation.
As a result of the probe, police allege they seized quantities of suspected fentanyl, methamphetamine and cannabis, along with drug-trafficking paraphernalia and Canadian currency.
Two people were taken into custody at the scene as a result of the investigation.
Police said one of the accused is a 24-year-old Etobicoke resident, who was charged with possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking – opioid (other than heroin), possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking – methamphetamine, speeding, failure to surrender an insurance card, failure to surrender a permit for a motor vehicle, novice driver failure to surrender a licence, driving with cannabis readily available, failure to stop for police, and failure to stop on the right for an emergency vehicle.
Further, police said a 26-year-old North York resident was charged with possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking – opioid (other than heroin), possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking – methamphetamine, and failure to comply with a release order.
None of these charges have been proven in court.
