Additionally the Durham Regional Police Drug Unit executed a controlled drugs and substances act search warrant at an address in Oshawa. A 27 year old female from Oshawa was arrested for trafficking fentanyl, possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl and six firearm related charges.
During the course of the investigation, subsequent arrests and search warrant the following items were seized:
627.9 grams of fentanyl.
.38 Smith and Wesson revolver and ammunition.
Canadian currency
Digital scale
Drug packaging
Cellular telephones
The estimated street value of the drugs seized was approximately $112,000.00.
Why aren’t the charged in this case named? With any other Police Service in Canada when you have a arrest and drug bust or crime this large the accused are named in the media, there’s something very strange going on down there in Kingston, when you’re protecting the accused this way.
possibly a trap, waiting for someone ( people who they owed the money to ) to speak out about trying to find out who they arrested !
People arrested with FENTANYL and guns should be dealt with very seriously time wise !! No need for that on the streets here or anywhere !!!!
