A suspected drug bust by Thunder Bay police has landed a 21-year old Toronto man behind bars.

Police say they were called to an apartment on Rowand Street near Simpson, just after 2 o’clock this morning to reports of a disturbance.

Police note there was a quantity of drugs, money and suspected stolen merchandise found.

Police say they believe the drugs are fentanyl and crack cocaine.

The man remains in custody, charged with Possession of Cocaine for Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of Fentanyl for Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Under $5,000 and obstructing a peace officer.

He appeared in court today.
