More than $1 million worth of drugs have been seized, and a man is facing charges in a drug trafficking investigation.
Peel Region police say they began an investigation in September and identified a Toronto resident who was allegedly seen conducting several drug transactions in Peel.
On October 31, search warrants were executed at multiple addresses in Toronto and resulted in the seizure of a loaded 9 mm handgun, over 1,000 rounds of ammunition and drugs, including seven kilograms of crystal meth, 1.8 kilograms of cocaine, 2,600 grams of Percocet and 500 grams of fentanyl.
Louis Aloysius, 29, of Toronto, faces multiple charges, including five counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and multiple weapons charges.
“This increased presence enabled our officers to make this arrest and remove dangerous drugs and a firearm before they could cause harm,” Peel Police Chief Nishan Duraiappa said in a statement. “This investigation demonstrates the power of collaboration between our community and our officers in building safer neighborhoods.”
