The Windsor Police Service has seized replica guns and $50,000 of illegal drugs after a recent investigation.

Earlier in the month, the investigation was launched after police received reports of a person in possession of a gun.

On Thursday, a 37-year-old man was arrested in the 1000 block of Ouellette Avenue. Officers seized:

• 607 oxycodone tablets
• 25 hydromorphone tablets
• 0.5 grams of fentanyl
• $90 Canadian cash

Later in the day, a search warrant was executed at a home in the 8800 block of Wyandotte Street East, resulting in the seizure of two replica guns and a revolver pellet gun with ammo.

The man is charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace.
