Greater Sudbury Police got quite a haul yesterday when they raided a Sudbury home looking for drugs.

On Jan. 28, members of the Greater Sudbury Police Service Intelligence Unit executed a search warrant at a Sudbury residence.

And that search warrant, police said, really bore fruit. GSPS said in a news release officers recovered cocaine, MDMA tablets, heroin and close to 300 fentanyl transdermal patches. Fentanyl is a powerful opioid painkiller and sedative.

Besides the drugs, officers seized a 9mm handgun and stolen property valued over $10,000, the release said. Police estimate the street value of the drugs exceeds $185,000.

Four people were arrested at the scene: two adult males, one adult female and one young person, all from the Greater Sudbury area. All four have been charged with a number of offences under the Controlled Drugs & Substances Act and the Criminal Code of Canada.

They are being held pending a bail hearing scheduled today.
