Guns, fentanyl seized in Walpole Island bust

Police say a Walpole Island First Nation resident is charged after officers seized guns and drugs in a bust last week.

On Friday, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) searched at a home on Tecumseh Road as part of an ongoing drug investigation that began in January.

The search resulted in officers seizing suspected fentanyl, cocaine, multiple guns, Canadian money, and other illegal items. Police allege the items are worth roughly $19,400.

Following the search, police arrested a 41-year-old from Walpole Island.

The accused has been charged with possession of fentanyl with the purpose of trafficking, 18 counts of possession of a firearm or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order, four counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm, two counts of possession of a prohibited device or ammunition, and careless storage of a gun, prohibited device or ammunition.
