(WIARTON, ON) – The Grey Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is releasing updated information following a drug trafficking investigation in Wiarton, Bruce County.
On October 9, 2025, members of the Grey-Bruce Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU), with support from specialized OPP units, executed a search warrant at a residence on Frank Street in Wiarton. Two individuals were arrested in connection with the investigation.
Following laboratory analysis and confirmation, the substances seized have now been identified and valued as follows:
Seized Controlled Substances:
• 820.3 grams of fentanyl – estimated street value: $205,075
• 332.7 grams of cocaine – estimated street value: $33,270
• 173.6 grams of methamphetamine – estimated street value: $17,360
Additional Seizures:

• Offence-related property – estimated value: $1,800
The total estimated value of controlled substances seized is $255,705.
To illustrate the impact of this seizure:
• Fentanyl is commonly used by the point (0.1 grams), meaning this seizure represents approximately 8,203 potential doses.
• Cocaine and methamphetamine are typically used by the gram, representing 332 and 173 potential doses respectively.
• For context, the 2021 Census recorded the population of Wiarton at 1,989.
This seizure represents one of the largest suspected fentanyl busts in Bruce and Grey Counties and marks a significant disruption to the illegal drug trade in the region.
Public Safety Reminder: Fentanyl is a highly potent opioid, and accidental exposure-even in small amounts-can be life-threatening. Members of the public are encouraged to consider carrying naloxone (Narcan), a life-saving medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Naloxone kits are available free of charge at many local pharmacies and community health agencies.
