High E-bike rider was pulling trailer full of drugs, northern Ont. police say
One person has been charged with drug trafficking and several other offences following a recent traffic stop in Nipissing First Nation.
Early in the morning on July 16, police saw three people operating pedal and electric bicycles on Wiigwaas Miikan.
'One of the bicycles was towing a trailer and all three individuals appeared to be under the influence of drugs,' police said in a news release.
Suspected carfentanil
'One of the three -- who was wanted by another police service for two counts of failure to comply -- fled the scene. Officers followed and the man was arrested without incident.'
A search of the suspect and the bike trailer uncovered drugs suspected to be 70.9 grams of carfentanil, 26.4 grams of crystal meth, 5.8 grams of fentanyl, 28 grams of cocaine, six hydromorphone tablets and 356 hydromorphone tablets.
The street value of the drugs is about $23,000.
Also seized were $6,260 in cash, a digital scale, a silver baton and bear spray.
A 43-year-old man from Nipissing First Nation is charged with several offences, including fleeing police, obstructing police, drug trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime.
He has since been released on an undertaking, police said.
