The Owen Sound Police Service has wrapped up “Project Winter” in an effort to reduce drug trafficking on city streets.

The probe resulted in a total of 23 drug related charges being laid against five people from Owen Sound.  Police seized $8,000 worth of illegal drugs including fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine.

The Owen Sound Police Service said the investigation continues and there may be further arrests in the coming weeks.

“Substance dependency remains a priority public health concern here in Owen Sound and we will continue to take aggressive enforcement action against those who prey upon the most vulnerable members of our population. I remain very proud of our member’s hard work and commitment that ensured this project was a success,” said Chief Craig Ambrose.

The Criminal Intelligence Service of Ontario provided financial and operational support for Project Winter.
