Sudbury police arrest suspected drug dealer, seize $39K in drugs
An investigation into a suspected drug dealer in Greater Sudbury resulted in the arrest of a 43-year-old woman, three search warrants and the seizure of $39,000 in drugs, police say.
Last Friday, detectives with the drug enforcement unit concluded the investigation and with the help of the integrated crime section, emergency response unit and Ontario Provincial Police-led guns and gangs enforcement team, the local woman was taken into custody on drug charges.
The location of the three searches occurred in Greater Sudbury, but police did not provide specific details.
"During the arrest and subsequent searches, detectives seized approximately 362 grams of suspected cocaine, 3.55 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 659 amphetamine tablets and 179 oxycodone pills with an estimated street value of $38,770, as well as close to $300 in cash," Sudbury police said in a news release Tuesday.
"Detectives also located and seized a stolen bicycle worth approximately $6,000."
