An investigation by Windsor police has resulted in one person being arrested.

The Drugs and Guns Enforcement (DIGS) Unit began a probe last month into a suspected drug operation.

Officers conducted a traffic stop Tuesday on the subject of the investigation, and arrested him. A search of the vehicle uncovered 20.7 grams of cocaine, 5.6 grams of crack cocaine, $260 in cash, and a digital scale.

Police then executed a warrant on the suspect's home on Lena Avenue off College Avenue, finding an additional quantity of drugs concealed behind a false wall. As a result, police seized 139.7 grams of cocaine, 83 grams of fentanyl, $3,230 in cash, and two digital scales.

The total street value of the drugs is estimated at $37,350.

A 29-year-old man is charged with five counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell. The charges have not been proven in court.
