Guelph police make huge haul of narcotics on New Years Globalnews.ca

Police say a Bracebridge couple from Ontario may have left something behind during their stay in the Royal City – thousands of dollars worth of illegal drugs.

The Guelph Police Service was called to a hotel in the city’s north end on New Year’s Day.

Investigators say hotel staff were cleaning a room when they found a stocking left inside.

They say inside the sock were suspected cocaine, fentanyl, heroin and prescription opioids with an estimated value of $11,100.

A man and a woman were arrested Tuesday by police in another jurisdiction as a result of the investigation and brought back to Guelph.
