On April 26th, 2024 the Saugeen Shoes Police Service’s Criminal Investigations and Drug Unit, in partnership with the OPP Grey-Bruce Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU) and policing partners, executed four search warrants in the municipalities of Saugeen Shores, Kincardine, and Brampton. As a result of these search warrants, five people have been charged with numerous criminal and drug related offences.

Police seized illicit drugs with an estimated street value of $126,000. In addition to the drugs, officers seized two handguns, one rifle and prohibited devices.

A complex investigation, of this nature, requires signficant resources and funding. Funding was provided by the Ontario Government’s Criminal Investigations Service of Ontario (CISO) with operational and resources provided by assisting agencies including – OPP Grey-Bruce CSCU, OPP Huron-Perth CSCU, OPP Wellington CSCU, OPP Elgin-Middlesex CSCU, OPP Oxford-Brant CSCU, Peel Regional Police Service, Guelph Police Service, Waterloo Regional Police Service and West Grey Police Service.

“These seizures are extremely significant.”, remarked Chief Kevin Zettel. “As a result of Project Riptide several prohibited devices, firearms, and a large quantity of illicit drugs are no longer available on our streets.”, added the Chief.

All charged were held for bail.
