A two-month long drug investigation conducted by regional police services has resulted in the arrest of two people and the seizure of firearms and over a million dollars in illicit drugs this week.

Dubbed project MENACE, the Brantford Police Services, assisted by the Ontario Provincial Police Tactical Unit and the Six Nations Police Services, executed multiple  search warrants on Nov. 17 in Brantford.

Police seized suspected crystal Methamphetamine, cocaine and fentanyl with an estimated street value of $1,178,310. They also seized a large amount of Canadian currency, a handgun, prescription medication and approximately $200,000 of jewelry.

Brantford residents Dennis Colton, 27, and Ryan Forbes, 24, have been charged with numerous criminal offences.

“I am extremely proud of the excellent work and collaboration demonstrated by the Brantford Police Service and the Six Nations Police Service. This investigation has resulted in removing over $1,000,000 in illegal drugs, firearms from our community – the largest seizure of its kind [through] a Brantford Police Services and Six Nations Police led investigation,” Brantford Police Services Chief Rob Davis said in a press release.

CKRZ asked Six Nations Police for a comment but the police declined.
