Investigation leads to drugs and weapons charges for Windsor man
A Windsor man is facing multiple drugs and weapons charges after police launched an investigation into “suspicious behaviour.”
Members of the Problem Oriented Policing (POP) Unit were conducting general patrol in the area of Goyeau Street and Park Street east around 12 p.m. on Wednesday when they launched an investigation surrounding suspicious behaviour and circumstances observed by officers.
