Ontario police seize 125 kilograms of crystal meth after New Brunswick man arrested
CBC
Police say a New Brunswick man is in custody in eastern Ontario after a raid led to the seizure of 125 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine.
Ontario Provincial Police arrested the 54-year-old man after getting "a traffic hazard complaint" about a driver on Highway 17 in the Township of Head, Clara and Maria early Wednesday morning, they said in a news release issued late Thursday night.
The man from Minto was the only person in the vehicle when police found it. Officers arrested him and took him to the OPP's Upper Ottawa Valley Detachment for testing.
At some point after his arrest and "as a result of the initial investigation," five police units executed a search warrant at a location not specified in the news release.
That's where the 125 kilograms of crystal meth was found, the release said, as well as "a prohibited firearm, suppressor [silencer], Canadian currency and a motor vehicle."
The OPP release said the units carrying out the raid were:
The New Brunswick man has been charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle, possession of a Schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking as well as trafficking in Schedule 1 substance.
The man is expected to appear in court in Pembroke, Ont., on April 4.
