2 charged after $450K in fentanyl, cocaine seized in Hamilton drug investigation

Two people are facing multiple charges in a drug investigation in which police say they seized $450,000 in high-concentration fentanyl and cocaine.

Hamilton police say the probe is ongoing despite the arrest of a 27-year-old Hamilton man and a 47-year-old Grimsby woman early Friday at an undisclosed residence in the city.

Detectives say the bust was tied to a ring distributing drugs in the city but also extended into areas across southwestern Ontario.
