In a significant drug trafficking investigation that has been ongoing since July 2025, local law enforcement has apprehended three suspects linked to a network engaged in the illegal drug trade both within and outside the region. The police have identified two men and one woman as key individuals involved in this illicit operation.

On December 30, 2025, investigators executed search warrants at two residences associated with the suspects. This operation yielded a substantial amount of illegal substances, including seven kilograms of suspected methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, various opiates, psilocybin, and marijuana. Additionally, law enforcement officials seized drug indica, a firearm, and a sum of currency believed to be tied to the drug activities.

The three arrested individuals, two of whom are a 36-year-old male and female from Kitchener, are currently facing multiple charges. The charges against them include:

• Four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking in a Schedule I substance;
• Possession for the purpose of trafficking a Schedule IV substance;
• Possession for the purpose of trafficking a Schedule III substance;
• Possession for sale and distribution as per the Federal Cannabis Act;
• Possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized; and
• Careless storage of a firearm.

The third suspect, a 48-year-old male also from Kitchener, faces a slightly different set of charges, which include:

• Two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking a Schedule I substance;
• Possession for the purpose of trafficking a Schedule IV substance;
• Possession for the purpose of trafficking a Schedule III substance; and
• Possession for sale and distribution as per the Federal Cannabis Act.

All three individuals have been remanded in custody and are awaiting a bail hearing. This case underscores the ongoing challenges local law enforcement faces in combatting drug trafficking and highlights their efforts to dismantle such networks that pose significant risks to community safety.

The investigation remains active, with officials continuing to pursue further leads and gather evidence. The community has been urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities as part of the ongoing effort to eradicate drug-related crime.
