Stolen Vanier Cup ring among items found in east London drug bust

A loaded handgun, two airsoft guns, a variety of drugs, and a stolen Vanier Cup ring.

London police seized all of those items and more during a raid on an east-end home on Thursday.

Officers with the guns and gangs section, uniformed division, emergency response, and canine units searched the home on Dorinda Street, north of Dundas Street. Inside, they found the ring, a loaded 9mm handgun, two airsoft guns, a 9mm handgun magazine, ammunition, 35 grams of fentanyl, 114 grams of cocaine, 17 grams of crack cocaine, 29 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 302 Dilaudid pills, 18 grams of psilocybin, and two digital scales.

The drugs are valued at $24,170, while the stolen ring from the 2021 national college football championship is worth about $1,000.

A 36-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman, both from London, were arrested. They have both been charged with 11 offences including possession of a restricted firearm, possession of a loaded regulated firearm, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, careless storage of a firearm and ammunition, and possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking.

The man faces an additional two counts of failure to comply with a release order.

The two accused were scheduled to appear in court in relation to the charges on Thursday.
