This summer, Detectives from the Greater Sudbury Police Service Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)-led Provincial Guns and Gangs Enforcement Team began an investigation into individuals believed to be trafficking illicit drugs in Greater Sudbury.

Shortly before 6:00 a.m. on October 10, 2024, Detectives with the assistance of our Emergency Response Unit (ERU) executed a search warrant on Frood Road. Two people from Greater Sudbury, a 27-year-old, woman and a 47-year-old, man and a 26-year-old, man from Southern Ontario were arrested for drug charges at the residence.

Detectives conducted a search of the residence and located approximately 43 grams of cocaine, 81 grams of crack cocaine, 13 grams of fentanyl, 13 oxycodone pills, and approximately $1,800 in cash. The estimated street value of the seized drugs is approximately $14,000.

As a result of the investigation, 26-year-old, Nuzsikeil Gonez, 27-year-old, Chantal Morrison and the 47-year-old, man have been charged with the following offences under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) and Criminal Code of Canada:

  • Possession of a Schedule I controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking – Cocaine
  • Possession of a Schedule I controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking - Fentanyl
  • Possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000

Nuzsikeil Gonez and Chantal Morrison attended Bail Court on October 10, 2024, to answer to the charges. The 47-year-old was released on an appearance notice with a court date of November 6, 2024. His name cannot be released at this time as the information has not yet been sworn to through the court process.  

The Greater Sudbury Police Service Integrated Crime Section conducted this investigation in collaboration with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)-led Provincial Guns and Gangs Enforcement Team and the Greater Sudbury Police Service Emergency Response Unit. 

The GSPS Drug Enforcement Unit of the Integrated Crime Section remains committed to working collaboratively with our Policing and community partners focusing its efforts on major crime operations that pose a direct and elevated threat to the safety, security, and wellness of our community.  The Integrated Crime Section aims to identify and disrupt organized crime in Greater Sudbury through innovative technology, collaborative partnerships and traditional Police work resulting in the arrest of those involved, holding them accountable for their criminal activities and the seizure of illegal drugs, prohibited firearms and proceeds of crime.
