$20K worth of fentanyl found in wall of Guelph home

Guelph Police say $20,000 worth of fentanyl was discovered inside a senior’s apartment.

Officers were called to a north-end property on April 1 to help with an eviction.

The tenant, police said, had caused a large amount of damage inside their unit.

“A short time after officers left the scene, they were called back by the property manager who had located a package of drugs inside a kitchen wall,” they wrote in a media release. “The package was found to contain more than 100 grams of purple fentanyl with an estimated street value of $20,000.”

The 66-year-old tenant was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and breach of a probation order.
