Two Brampton residents are facing charges following a recent police investigation.

On Wednesday, July 27, members of Thunder Bay police’s Intelligence Unit executed a search warrant at a Lincoln Street residence in south Thunder Bay.

“The warrant was obtained as a result of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking activity in that area,” said police.

Officers located and seized a quantity of suspected crack cocaine, a quantity of suspected fentanyl, cash, and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking.

Police say they also located a loaded handgun and a device “consistent with allowing a semi-automatic firearm to be discharged as an automatic firearm.”

Multiple suspects were located inside the home, two of whom were arrested.

Boris Kljujic, 25 and Ja’coy Shyhiem Teiji Stevenson, 25, both from Brampton, are charged with:

  • Possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking
  • Possession of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking
  • Possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime under $5,000
  • Unauthorized possession of a firearm (2 counts)
  • Knowledge of unauthorized possession of a firearm
  • Possession of loaded prohibited or restricted firearm
  • Tampering with serial number of a firearm
  • Careless storage of a firearm
  • Making an automatic firearm

Both appeared in bail court today (July 28) and were remanded into custody with future court appearance dates.
