Public Safety Alert – Recent Drugs Seized Contain Mixture of Illicit Substances

Region of Peel – Investigators from the Vice, Narcotics, and Street Level Organized Crime Unit would like to alert the public that recent seizures of narcotics have been confirmed to contain combinations of illicit substances such as Fentanyl and Carfentanyl which are posing an additional risk to public safety. 

Investigators are seeing a trend with drugs being mixed with Fentanyl and Carfentanyl.  Officers engaging in drug investigations have reported a recent seizure of narcotics that was confirmed by Health and Welfare Canada as containing an extremely potent mixture of four (4) different substances which included; Heroin, Cocaine, Carfentanyl and Fentanyl.  These drugs are manufactured illegally and in ways that cause inconsistency in potency. This process makes the combination of drugs unpredictable and increasingly life threatening for users.

Peel Regional Police is committed to preserving life by making efforts to remove these drugs from the streets and keeping them out of the hands of unsuspecting users.

If you find yourself in an emergency situation with a friend or family member using illicit drugs, contact 911.

Anyone with information in relation to the production and sale of illicit narcotics is urged to call the Vice, Narcotics, and Street Level Organized Crime Unit at (905) 453-2121, ext. 3515.  Information may also be left anonymously by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or by visiting www.peelcrimestoppers.ca

For media inquiries, please contact the on-duty Public Information Officer at (905) 453-2121, ext. 4027.
