A Brant County resident is facing multiple charges following a drug trafficking investigation that originated in Norfolk County.
Members of the Haldimand/Norfolk Ontario Provincial Police Community Street Crime Unit executed search warrants at properties on Harley Road in Brant County during the early morning hours of June 2. The operation was carried out with assistance from the Brant/Oxford OPP Community Street Crime Unit, the West Region OPP Emergency Response Team, and the West Region OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit.
Police say the warrants were part of an ongoing drug trafficking investigation. Officers entered a residence at one of the properties and took one individual into custody without incident.
During searches of the properties, investigators seized quantities of suspected cocaine, methamphetamine, Xanax, and oxycodone. Police also recovered drug trafficking paraphernalia, Canadian currency, ammunition, and prohibited weapons.
In addition to the drugs and weapons, officers located four stolen vehicles, including two pickup trucks and two sport utility vehicles.
As a result of the investigation, 38-year-old Michael Vos of Brant County has been charged with several offences, including possession of cocaine and methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a Schedule IV substance for the purpose of trafficking, unauthorized possession of a weapon, possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of firearm ammunition contrary to a prohibition order, and possession of property obtained by crime.
The accused remains in custody and was scheduled to appear for a bail hearing before the Ontario Court of Justice in Simcoe on June 4.
The investigation remains ongoing.
