Police say they have seized 46 kilograms of suspected fentanyl after a year-long drug investigation—an amount that is the largest in Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) history and which they say is enough of the drug to take the lives of a “moderately sized city.”

In addition to the seizure of fentanyl, the bust resulted in police seizing 3.4 kilograms of cocaine, 1 kilograms of suspected heroin, two loaded firearms and ammunition, 4,500 hydromorphone pills, 190 oxycodone pills, 360 morphine pills, 470 benzodiazepine tablets, 35 amphetamine tablets, as well as expensive jewelry, $170,000 in cash, more than 20 cellular devices, and assorted drug paraphernalia, according to a Nov. 12 release from the OPP.
