AJAX -- An Ajax resident is facing several charges after Durham Regional Police seized drugs, cash and weapons.
Officers with the Drug Enforcement Unit, assisted by the Tactical Support Unit and officers from Whitby and Oshawa, executed a search warrant at a Hornsell Circle home in north Ajax on Friday, Oct. 3, following complaints from the community.
A male resident was found inside the house and arrested without incident.
During the search, police found cocaine, both powder and crack, marijuana, psilocybin (magic mushroom), a pellet gun hidden inside a stereo amplifier, three rounds of .357 ammunition, a butterfly knife, a bullet-proof vest reportedly stolen from the Toronto Police Service and $370 in cash.
The total value of the drugs seized was approximately $5,500.
Hodari Harris Johnson, 26, of Hornsell Circle, was charged with three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a dangerous weapon, possession of a prohibited weapon and breach of probation. He was held for a bail hearing.
Anyone with information regarding this incident or any other illegal drug activity is asked to contact the Drug Enforcement Unit at 905 579-1520, ext. 5800. Anonymous information can be sent to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward.
