Kingston Police Say a 28-Year-Old Kingston Resident Is Charged With 16 Counts by a Tally of the Listed Charges, Including Eight Counts of Possession of a Firearm or Ammunition While Prohibited, After Officers Executed a Search Warrant at a Local Accommodation Establishment and Seized a Loaded Handgun, Ammunition, a Prohibited Weapon and Illicit Drugs Including Fentanyl (October 20, 2026)
Kingston Police say officers executed a search warrant on October 15, 2026 at a local accommodation establishment, after members of the Special Services Unit began an investigation in October 2026, and seized a loaded handgun, ammunition, a prohibited weapon and quantities of illicit drugs including fentanyl destined for the purpose of trafficking, according to the release. A 28-year-old Kingston resident is charged with what the release calls several Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act offences, and the counts the release lists come to 16 by a tally — among them eight counts of Possession of a Firearm or Ammunition While Prohibited. The release does not name the accused or identify the establishment. The accused was held in custody for a bail hearing. Kingston Police published the release on October 20, 2026.
The October 15 Search Warrant
According to Kingston Police, members of the Special Services Unit began an investigation in October 2026. Officers obtained and executed a search warrant on October 15 at what the force calls a local accommodation establishment. Officers seized a loaded handgun, ammunition, a prohibited weapon and quantities of illicit drugs including fentanyl destined for the purpose of trafficking, the release says.
The release does not give a quantity for the drugs or the ammunition, does not describe the type of prohibited weapon and does not identify the establishment or its address.
The Listed Counts
The release says the accused was charged with “several Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act offences including” the counts set out below. Those listed counts come to 16 by a tally of the figures the release gives; the release does not state a total of its own, and because it says the listed counts are among several offences, the tally covers the listed counts only. The release does not itemise the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act offences it refers to.
The accused was held in custody for a bail hearing, according to the release. The outcome of that hearing has not been reported.
