A Windsor man (35), Kitchener man (23), and a 25-year-old man from Toronto all face firearms-related charges with other charges still anticipated as the investigation continues.
The drugs recovered included more than 100 grams of suspected "Purple Heroin" which is a combination of heroin and fentanyl that's purple in colour.
