The incident began around 2:30 a.m. when police saw the vehicle parked on Alexandra Street. Looking inside, police saw the driver and a passenger sound asleep.
“Officers were able to wake the two and they were arrested,” police said.
“During a subsequent search, officers located approximately 1,013 grams of a substance believed to be cocaine, approximately 186 grams of a substance believed to be fentanyl, a crossbow, a loaded .22 calibre handgun and ammunition. The estimated street value of the drugs seized is $175,786.”
Two suspects, ages 38 and 33, are now facing numerous drug trafficking and weapons offences. The suspect who was behind the wheel was also charged with impaired driving.
