Ontario Provincial Police in Kenora, Ont., say they've seized over $3,000 worth of what they believe is carfentanil and arrested two people.
A 30-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman from Winnipeg have been charged with multiple drug and firearms-related offences after police said they found approximately $3,390 worth of the deadly drug.
Officers also reportedly seized $1,015 in cash and drug paraphernalia.
The deadly opioid is extremely potent and is most often used as a tranquilizer for large mammals such as elephants.
According to a written statement from the OPP on Wednesday, both individuals are being held in custody.
The 32-year-old woman will appear in court on March 14, while the 30-year old man will attend bail court on March 26.
