Windsor police have taken illicit drugs off the street and arrested three people following an investigation.
Members of the Emergency Services Unit executed search warrants Wednesday at a house on Albert Road near Milloy in Windsor. Officers also searched a home on Regina Street in Lakeshore.
Police seized over 661 grams of fentanyl, 50 tablets of Percocet, a small amount of crystal methamphetamine, and over 394 grams of an unknown substance believed to be a cutting agent.
Officers also recovered a nine-millimetre firearm, 55 rounds of ammunition, $2,185 in cash, and five cell phones.
The raids are the culmination of a months-long probe into a suspected drug network with ties to a street gang in Hamilton.
Three people, aged 19, 20, and 25, are each charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, possession of a loaded restricted firearm, possession of a firearm without proper registration, and transferring and storing a restricted weapon.
The 20-year-old suspect also faces three counts of possession of a weapon contrary to an order and two counts of failure to comply with a Youth Criminal Justice Act sentence.
The charges have not been proven in court.
