The Grey-Bruce OPP is claiming a small victory in their war on drugs amidst an opioid overdose alert in their region.
Four opioid overdoses, including one fatality, in Grey-Bruce last week prompted an opioid overdose alert from the Grey-Bruce Health Unit.
On Oct. 5, members of the OPP Drug unit raided three homes along Highway 6 near Owen Sound
They say they seized a “significant” amount of fentanyl, meth, and cocaine.
Four residents, including two 38 year old’s, a 24 year old, and 21 year old, all from Grey/Bruce, are now facing twelve charges including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
“These arrests will have a great impact on the community. The Grey Bruce Community Street Crime Unit is committed to addressing the opioid crisis head-on and keeping our communities safe,” said Det. Sgt. Jamie Blair.
Three of the suspects have been remanded into custody, while a fourth will have an early November court date.
