25-13318

A targeted drug trafficking investigation conducted by the Kingston Police Street Crime Unit has resulted in multiple arrests and the seizure of a significant quantity of illicit substances, including multi-coloured fentanyl and cocaine.

Initiated in April 2025, the investigation focused on an individual with connections to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), suspected of distributing fentanyl and cocaine within the City of Kingston. 

On April 23, 2025, in collaboration with members of the Community Oriented Response and Engagement (C.O.R.E.) Unit, officers executed a Justice of the Peace-authorized CDSA search warrant at a residence located in the Russell Street and Division Street area.

As a result of the operation, two Toronto residents were arrested, and officers seized the following controlled substances:

Seized Items:
•    257.6 grams of multi-dyed fentanyl
•    89.4 grams of cocaine
•    83.2 grams of additional cocaine (processed separately)
•    33 MDMA pills
•    12 Hydromorphone pills

The total estimated street value of the drugs seized is $48,000.

A 25-year-old accused of Toronto was arrested and charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. A second accused, a 22-year-old also from Toronto was arrested and charged with three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, breach of probation and failing to comply with a court issued release order. Both individuals were held in custody pending a bail hearing.
