One person is facing charges after police seized $37,350 worth of cocaine and fentanyl linked to a suspected drug trafficking operation in Windsor.

The Windsor Police Drugs and Guns Enforcement Unit (DIGS) started an investigation into the suspected operation in November. Officers executed a vehicle stop on Tuesday and arrested the subject of the investigation.

Police say during the arrest, officers found 20.7g of cocaine, 5.6g of crack cocaine, $260 in cash, and a digital scale all on the suspect’s possession.

From the home search, police seized 139.7g of cocaine, 83g of fentanyl, $3,230 in cash and two digital scales.

The 29-year-old has been charged with five counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
