Three alleged drug traffickers who were interrupted by Greater Sudbury Police in an underground parking lot in downtown Sudbury are facing several charges.

Greater Sudbury Police say they received a suspicious persons call after a group of people were seen entering an underground parking lot off of Elgin Street.

When officers arrived, they located a vehicle with multiple people inside. As officers approached the vehicle to speak with the individuals, they could see in plain view a bag containing what was believed to be fentanyl on the driver’s seat.

Officers instructed the individuals to get out of the vehicle, and placed all three of them under arrest for Possession of a Schedule I Substance.

Two men and one woman were searched, and officers located various amounts of illicit drugs believed to be Cocaine and Fentanyl, some of which appeared to be packaged for sale. Officers also located cash on all three parties.

After searching the involved individuals, officers searched the vehicle and found three knives that were within reach to all three suspects, as well as illicit drugs and cash.

Officers seized more than $13,000 worth of drugs and over $800 in cash as a result of the incident.

The driver of the vehicle, a 19 year old woman, and both passengers, an 18 year old man and a 24 year old man, have been charged with the following under the Criminal Code of Canada and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act:

  • Possession of a Schedule I Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking x2
  • Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose
  • Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Under $5,000
  • Possession of a Prohibited Device

All three suspects were released on Undertakings with a court date of March 24. Their names cannot be released as the information has not yet been sworn to through the court process.
