Drugs, cash, and stolen Crown Royal recovered during investigation

Nearly $45,000 of illegal drugs, cash and stolen Crown Royal bottles were seized during a recent investigation by the Windsor police.

The Windsor Police Drugs and Guns Enforcement Unit searched a home on Pelissier Street around noon Thursday.

Officers arrested a 37-year-old woman on suspicion of trafficking. A 42-year-old man was also arrested on the scene for violating parole conditions.

During a search of the residence, officers found 429 grams of cocaine, 0.3 grams of crack cocaine, 12 tablets of 5mg oxycodone, and three tablets of 40mg oxycodone. The drugs had an estimated value of $43,090.

“We executed this warrant in the heart of downtown, near the 920 Ouellette apartment complex and Glengarry neighbourhood,” said Windsor Police Inspector Dave DeLuca, who oversees the DIGS Unit. “Our officers and community partners are working together on dedicated initiatives to serve these downtown areas, and I am pleased to see these dangerous drugs taken off our streets.”

Investigators also seized $5,090 in Canadian currency, two cellphones, a digital scale, and 87 Crown Royal bottles (reported stolen out of Tecumseh).

The 37-year-old is facing multiple charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime and failure to comply with a release order.
