On April 29, 2020 the OPP TRU team arrested two persons in the parking lot of Tim Horton's on Depot Drive. Soon after, the Muskoka CSCU with assistance from the Orillia CSCU executed a search warrant at a residence in the Town of Bracebridge. As a result of this investigation, two people have been charged for multiple offences.

An Etobicoke man is facing several drug-related charges, following a drug bust in Bracebridge. On Dec. 14 the Bracebridge Community Street Crime Unit conducted an investigation which led to a traffic stop. During this traffic stop, officers arrested the man for possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

On Dec. 15, a search warrant was executed in the man's hotel room. Officers found about 193 grams of cocaine, and approximately 12 grams of "purple heroin" which is a combination of heroin and fentanyl. Over $2,600 in Canadian currency was also seized. The total seizure is estimated at over $26,000.

Despite the success of this investigation, the OPP is becoming more concerned about what's coming to our communities.
