An Etobicoke man is facing several drug-related charges, following a drug bust in Bracebridge. On Dec. 14 the Bracebridge Community Street Crime Unit conducted an investigation which led to a traffic stop. During this traffic stop, officers arrested the man for possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
On Dec. 15, a search warrant was executed in the man's hotel room. Officers found about 193 grams of cocaine, and approximately 12 grams of "purple heroin" which is a combination of heroin and fentanyl. Over $2,600 in Canadian currency was also seized. The total seizure is estimated at over $26,000.
Despite the success of this investigation, the OPP is becoming more concerned about what's coming to our communities.
