Drugs with a police-estimated street value of $50,000 were allegedly found by police officers investigating an unpaid taxi fare.

Waterloo Regional Police say they were called to a hotel on Hespeler Road in Cambridge early Wednesday morning to investigate a taxi fraud.

A man had allegedly hired a taxi, then left it at the hotel without paying for his fare.

Police say their investigation turned up fentanyl, cocaine and MDMA. A man has been arrested for drug possession for the purpose of trafficking.
