Targeting Illegal Opioid Traffickers

Crime Stoppers of Halton, in partnership with Halton Regional Police Service, is targeting the dangerous and increasingly widespread trafficking and dealing of Fentanyl and other opioids in our community.

In 2021 throughout Halton Region we have already seen approximately 76 incidents where the Halton Regional Police responded for a suspected overdose indecent. 18 of which were fatal and an illicit substance may be a contributing factor.

"Opioids are increasingly common in Halton and have a high potential to be lethal" says Colin Jessome, Executive Director of Crime Stoppers. "We want to hear from you if you know of someone selling or moving these drugs. You will remain anonymous and receive $2000 in the event of an arrest. Together we can remove these drug dealers from Halton."

Individuals of all ages and backgrounds are vulnerable to these illegally trafficked drugs, especially as they are increasingly being added to legal drugs, including marijuana. For more information on opioids in Halton Region, visit the Halton Region Health Department Opiod Reporting website.

Halton Crime Stoppers offers rewards of up to $2000 for valid tips that lead to an arrest. Halton Crime Stoppers will never ask for your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal information.

All tips are 100% anonymous.

Anyone with information on the trafficking or dealing of Fentanyl and related drugs in Halton Region are asked to contact Halton Crime Stoppers either by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or submit a tip online.
