CHATHAM-KENT – On Wednesday night, April 10, members of the Chatham-Kent Police Intelligence Section executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant at an apartment in Chatham. Cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, cannabis marijuana, hydromorphone, GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate), ecstasy, morphine and fentanyl with a total street value of over $2.6-million was seized. An electronic digital scale, packaging materials, $52,000 in Canadian currency and a 9mm hand gun and ammunition were also seized. A 35-year-old Chatham man was charged with: possession for the purpose of trafficking (x9); possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order (x4); unauthorized possession of a weapon; unsafe storage of a weapon; possession of a prohibited weapon; possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition; and tampering with a serial number. “This was both a lengthy and tedious investigation requiring the use of many resources,” said Chief Gary Conn, Chatham-Kent Police Service. “I have been saying for some time now that a lot of our property crime, especially break and enters, are tied back to drugs, as there is a direct correlation between these offences.” “Our Service is committed to mitigating and fighting against the sale and consumption of illicit drugs within our community,” continued Chief Conn. “The execution of this search warrant and eventual seizure of these controlled substances with a street value of $2,669,290.00 is proof of that commitment. This bust is the largest in Chatham-Kent history, which has resulted in an arrest and 18 drug and weapon related offences.”
