The Owen Sound Police Service completed an enforcement initiative addressing the ongoing public consumption of illicit drugs in the downtown core on May 25 and 26.
Police say eight people were arrested during the two-day initiative, and officers seized suspected fentanyl and crystal methamphetamine.
Members of the Criminal Investigations Branch and Drug Enforcement Unit were involved in the initiative, using both uniformed and plainclothes officers.
Police say the goal of the strategy was to target individuals observed openly using illicit substances in areas accessible and visible to the public.
