Chatham man charged after $21K worth of fentanyl, cocaine seized

Over $21,000 worth of illegal drugs have been seized by Chatham-Kent police.

A 34-year-old man was arrested in Chatham on Wednesday after nearly 34 grams of fentanyl and around 4.5 grams of crack cocaine were seized during a traffic stop.

A search of the man's home on Riverview Drive found an additional 39 grams of fentanyl and 66 grams of cocaine.

Officers also found debt lists, digital scales, packaging materials, a sawed-off .22 calibre rifle, and an undisclosed amount of cash inside the home.

The man has since been charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, four different firearm-related offences, and failing to comply with a probation order.

He remains in police custody awaiting a bail hearing.
