- Project ICE
Members of the Guelph Police Service Drug Unit continue with Project Ice related investigations which is a project focused on reducing the availability of Crystal Meth within our community. This project began in December of 2014, leading to more than 20 people being arrested for drug trafficking related charges.
As a result of this ongoing initiative two more arrests were made on April 10, 2015. It is alleged that the arrested male and female have been involved in the transportation and distribution of crystal meth over multiple jurisdictions. A search subsequent to their arrest discovered nine baggies of Crystal meth with a street value of $5,800, over $3,000 cash, a digital scale, debt list, multiple cell phones, a radar detector and open liquor. The male was further found to be in possession of credit card data for numerous persons.
A subsequent CDSA search warrant at the residence of the female in Holstein Ontario, resulted in the further seizure of another $280 worth of crystal methamphetamine.
Regginold Magsanoc, 32 years of Toronto has been charged with 9 counts of breach of probation, 7 counts of possessing credit card data, 2 counts of breach recognizance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. He was also charged with driving a motor vehicle while suspended under the Highway Traffic Act.
