Two people are facing charges under the Controlled Drug and Substances Act (CDSA) and the Criminal Code of Canada (CC) following a joint investigation into importing and trafficking illegal drugs in the Greater Toronto area, according to Caledon OPP.
Acting on information from the public, officers from OPP and Peel Regional Police combined to identify individuals involved in transporting and distributing cocaine in the Caledon area. During a Highway 410 traffic stop last week, police seized 142 kilograms of cocaine from a vehicle.
A 52-year-old man from Vaughan and a 36-year-old Brampton man are both charged with importing a controlled Schedule 1 substance (cocaine) and possession for the purpose of trafficking of a controlled Schedule 1 substance. The Vaughan man was also charged with driving while disqualified.
The accused appeared at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton May 2 and were remanded in custody. The investigation continues.
