A subsequent search of the vehicle led officers to locate and seize the fentanyl, methamphetamine, 162 grams of cocaine, drug trafficking paraphernalia, and a large sum of cash. Following the investigation, 26-year-old Jaspreet Singh from Scarborough, Ontario, was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine under Section 5(2) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, as well as possession of property obtained by crime over $5000 under Section 354(1)(a) of the Criminal Code.

Geoff Applegate, Wynyard RCMP detachment commander, emphasized the dangers of fentanyl, noting that even small amounts can be lethal. He stated that the seizure disrupted a drug trafficking operation that could have caused significant harm within the community.
