Toronto Police say they have seized $7.3 million worth of synthetic drugs in a storage locker in the northeast end of the city, one of the largest busts in recent years.

Officers found roughly 350,000 pills in vacuum sealed bags, 75 kilograms of powder believed to be MDMA, and 11 kilograms of white crystallized powder believed to be methamphetamine, police said Wednesday.

“It’s the largest seizure in the last few years,” inspector Randy Franks said in a statement.

Police executed a search warrant at 4780 Sheppard Avenue East on July 13, after getting a tip from the public.

Along with the drugs — which are being tested by Health Canada officials to determine what is contained in the pills — police discovered production equipment and scales.

“The next phase for these drugs was distribution,” Mr. Franks said. “Much of it was ready to distribute. It can be sold in its raw form to someone who wants to make their own pills.”

The major bust comes after police discovered drug labs in several Toronto apartments earlier this month, and found storage units with chemicals used to manufacture synthetic drugs.
