City police have seized an estimated $50,000 worth of crack cocaine and fentanyl powder.
Officials with the Thunder Bay Police Service say drug enforcement investigators began an investigation in November that focused on a male suspect who was allegedly trafficking in crack cocaine into the city.
Police say officers arrested the suspect on Nov. 25 at a local shopping mall. Following that arrest, officers searched a north-side hotel room in the city.
As a result of that search officers managed to seize about 140 grams of crack cocaine, 3.5 grams of cocaine and 11 grams of suspected fentanyl powder.
Police also seized $575 in Canadian cash and $100 in American cash.
The total value of drugs seized is believed to be almost $50,000.
