A drug trafficking investigation by the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) has led to an arrest.
Over the fall season last year, investigators from the 2 District Criminal Investigations Bureau watched a suspect "conduct numerous drug transactions in Mississauga and Oakville."
Those events culminated yesterday when a Controlled Drug and Substances search warrant was executed at a residence in Mississauga, near Vanderbilt Road and Tenth Line West, and the suspect’s vehicle.
HRPS officers were able to seize around four ounces of cocaine, $20,000 in cash, and other items related to drug trafficking.
The suspect, 32-year-old Rishawn Simpson of Mississauga, was arrested and charged with:
- Trafficking in a Controlled Substance - Cocaine
- Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking - Cocaine
He was released on an undertaking.
All accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
