The citizens of Kingston can be proud of the work undertaken by these investigators, whose commitment and persistence led to a successful complex investigation. The fentanyl and other drugs seized during this investigation would have had devastating consequences for communities across the province. Every fentanyl pill intercepted is a potential life saved.
