On January 19, 2026, detectives from the Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) concluded Project Tilton, a drug investigation into individuals believed to be trafficking illicit drugs in our community. Members of the Emergency Response Unit (ERU) and K9 Unit executed a high-risk vehicle stop on Highway 69 where two individuals from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) were arrested.
Upon searching the individuals and vehicle incident to arrest, officers located 750 grams of pre-weighed, pre-packaged fentanyl, four cell phones, and $525 in cash.
