Waterloo Region, Ontario Waterloo Regional Police have seized over $9 million worth of drugs and more than $800,000 in currency in connection to an organized crime drug trafficking investigation. This is one of the largest drug seizures in WRPS history.
In March 2023, Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) Patrol officers responded to a report of a residential break-and-enter in the area of Fergus Avenue and Weber Street East in Kitchener and located multiple kilograms of suspected cocaine inside the residence. WRPS Drugs and Firearms Unit then commenced an organized crime drug trafficking investigation that resulted in the completion of search warrants at two Kitchener residences, one in the area of Weber Street East and Fergus Avenue and the other in the area of Victoria Street South and Park Street, and the seizure of cocaine, MDMA, crystal methamphetamine, almost $100,000 in Canadian currency, and seven firearms.
On April 26, 2024, as part of the ongoing investigation, officers from WRPS Criminal Intelligence Unit, with assistance from the Emergency Response Team, completed two search warrants at Kitchener residences in the areas of Sims Estate Drive and Fairway Road North, and Homer Watson Boulevard and Old Carriage Drive. A search warrant was also completed on a 2023 Audi motor vehicle. Investigators seized multiple kilograms of suspected cocaine, suspected crystal methamphetamine, and Canadian currency.
