A pit stop for burgers and fries in southeast London ended with two men in handcuffs and the seizure of more than $28,000 worth of drugs.
Workers at the McDonald's at 959 Hamilton Rd. called police after a pickup truck with a suspected impaired driver behind the wheel came through the drive-thru around 12:45 a.m. on Monday.
Officers arrived to find the truck in the restaurant parking lot.
A search of the vehicle turned up 61.4 grams of fentanyl, 27.7 grams of methamphetamine, nearly 200 hydromorph capsules, 387 ‘Gabapentin’ capsules, 249 capsules, $4,200 cash, and two digital scales. The total value of the drugs seized is an estimated $28,547.
A 31-year-old man and a 34-year-old man, both from London, were arrested. They are charged with four counts of possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking.
The 31-year-old faces an additional charge of impaired driving.
Both men appeared in London court in relation to the charge on Monday.
