Over $14,000 worth of drugs have been taken off the streets.
Police in Sarnia have made two arrest in connection to an almost month-long investigation into drug trafficking in the area.
Just after 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, officers were conducting surveillance and stopped a suspect vehicle on Indian Road and Wellington Street.
Both occupants were taken into custody, and a search of the vehicle turned up 92 grams of cocaine and 32 grams of fentanyl, along with thousands of dollars in cash.
“Of concern is that the cocaine and fentanyl, even though in individual bags, were kept together along with the fact that only one scale was located to measure the drugs,” a media release states. “The end result is that an individual that believes they are only using cocaine ingest a sample that is contaminated with fentanyl, even in the smallest amount, but due to their lack tolerance toward the fentanyl end up in respiratory distress and possibly dead.”
A 34-year-old man and 35-year-old woman, both Sarnia residents, now face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The man was also arrested on an outstanding warrant.
