Kingston Police seize $140K in drugs in two separate investigations

A total of four people, all from Kingston, are facing charges.

Kingston Police have uncovered two large-scale drug operations.

A drug trafficking investigation initiated by the Drug Enforcement Unit in November led to the execution of search warrants during a traffic stop and at a home last Thursday.

A quantity of fentanyl and oxycodone worth $75,000 plus cash, a loaded Sig Sauer semi-automatic 9mm handgun, two replica handguns, two rounds of ammunition and a laser pointer were seized.

Two Kingston residents, 21 and 22 years of age, were arrested, charged and held for bail hearings.

Also on Thursday, the Street Crime Unit and Community Oriented Response and Enforcement Unit along with uniform patrol members executed a search warrant at a residence in the area of Montreal and Hickson streets.

$65,000 in fentanyl and crystal meth plus cash were seized at that home.

A 34 and 33-year-old, both from Kingston, were arrested, charged and held for bail hearings.
