Two people are facing nearly 30 charges following a drug trafficking investigation in the Halton Region.
On Thursday, two people were arrested following a summer-long operation that concluded with several search warrants.
Police say they carried out a raid on a Mississauga residence and a car associated with the arrestees, where they located several guns and a copious amount of drugs and paraphernalia, including:
- 1 kilogram of cocaine;
- 1 ounce of crystal methamphetamine;
- 112 oxycodone pills; and
- Other indicia including scales packaging and bundled currency.
The two firearms recovered were a Glock 9mm in a prohibited compact variation and a Bersa 9mm that was loaded with hollow-point ammunition.
Michael Akuffo, a 31-year-old from Mississauga and Tre Wynters, a 31-year-old from Brampton, are facing multiple drug and firearm-related charges, some of which include:
- Possession of a loaded firearm;
- Trafficking a controlled substance;
- Careless storage of a firearm; and
- Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Both men were scheduled to undergo a bail hearing on Thursday, the result of which has not been publicized.
