An early morning raid by Greater Sudbury Police and the OPP yielded 80 doses of Fentanyl and thousands of dollars in cash.
It also led to two people being charged with drug trafficking offences, and another man getting picked up an outstanding warrant.
In a release to media, Greater Sudbury said its Integrated Crime Team (ICT) in conjunction with the OPP's Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau (OCEB) launched multiple investigations into drug-trafficking operations in the city.
This morning (Feb. 20) just after 6 a.m., ICT officers, the Tactical Unit and officers with the OPP's OCEB executed a search warrant at an address on the Kingsway.
In the raid, police report seizing both Fentanyl and cocaine worth a total of around $13,860. In addition, $8,605 in Canadian currency, $153 in American currency and 10 Euros were also seized. GSPS said the amount of Fentanyl seized is the equivalent of 80 "lethal" doses.
Several people were arrested in the home.
As a result, a 38-year-old man faces two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, and one count of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. A 33-year-old woman is also charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and one count of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
As well, a 27-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman were released without charges, while a 40-year-old man was held on an outstanding arrest warrant for failing to attend court.
The individuals facing charges are not permitted to be named as the information for the charges have not been sworn to.
