Peel Regional Police said officers from the 11 Division Community Incident Response Team began an investigation on Oct. 5 at about 5 p.m. in the Martiz Dr.-Derry Rd. W. area over an alleged Cannabis Control Act violation involving a vehicle.

Police said officers allegedly found suspected drugs inside the vehicle during the investigation, and a subsequent search located a loaded 9mm Glock handgun equipped with a prohibited 15-round magazine.

They said officers also allegedly ended up seizing more than 79 g of suspected drugs, including fentanyl, heroin, crack cocaine and crystal meth, as well as $1,260 in cash.

“Investigations like this demonstrate the importance of proactive enforcement in addressing the dangers posed by illegal firearms and drug trafficking,” Peel’s Deputy Chief Marc Andrews said in a statement. “By taking a loaded handgun and suspected illicit drugs, including fentanyl, off our streets, our officers are helping disrupt criminal activity and reduce the potential for harm.
