| 2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 6, 1987 Police seize drugs, stolen goods in raid, 2 local men charged Two Port Perry area men were charged with trafficking narcotics, following an early morning drug bust on Wednesday September 30. Durham Regional Police receiv- ed warrants for the arrest of 49 suspected dealers and moved in on the targets at 5:30 a.m., netting 35 adults and juveniles. More than 100 narcotics and criminal code charges were laid by afternoon, after police hit homes, bars and pool halls in Port Perry, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Bowmanville. Hashish, hash oil, LDS and mari- juana with a street value of about $2,700 were seized in the arrests, along with approximately $1,000 in stolen goods. The raids were the result of a four month long investigation, code- named 'Project Felt," which was launched May 29 from citizen com- plaints about street-level drug trafficking. Seventeen, two-man arrest teams, backed by four tactical unit officers, hauled the suspected traffickers into police headquarters in Oshawa. Another 11 police officers were sta- tioned at the headquarters to pro- cess the suspects, who were shipped off for bail hearings the same morning. Among the 35 arrested are Nicholas Peter Fischer, 27, of Honey's Beach Rd. in Port Perry, charged with one count of traffick- ing narcotics; and Gordon David Green, 25, of Orchard Rd. in Port Perry, charged with two counts of trafficking narcotics. The aim of the operation was to disrupt the small-time drug deals operating on the streets, and was the first big undercover operation in- volving only Durham Regional Police. The arrests follow two other busts this year, onein February where 84 people were charged, and the other in July, when 25 people were arrested.
