The drug bust executed by Sault Police on MacDonald Avenue produced 700 grams of fentanyl — a record one-time haul for the police service.
The 32-page application for Brewster’s detention review sheds new light on the night of the police takedown — a bust that had been in the works for months leading up to the arrests and drug seizures that went down in three Ontario cities nearly three years ago. It turns out Brewster was pulled over by police twice over the duration of Project Otter and Project Attic. The first time was Nov. 4, 2022 in Sault Ste. Marie, when he was arrested and charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 for allegedly possessing a stolen “re-vinned” vehicle. He was subsequently released on a promise to appear.
In January 2023, Durham Regional Police Service obtained four search warrants for three different locations in addition to a vehicle believed to be related to Brewster:
