A Stoney Creek man, who police say reported an imaginary home invasion, has been charged with drug trafficking.

Police responded to a report of intruders breaking into a home on Springstead Avenue, north of the QEW and east of Fifty Road, at about 3 p.m. Tuesday.

But after forcing open the door of the home, they found that wasn't the case: there was no struggle nor was anyone in danger.

The man who'd reported the break-in appeared to have been suffering from a mental health or drug-induced crisis, police said.

Police found a stash of cocaine and returned later with a search warrant.

In all, they seized three ounces of cocaine, 70 oxycodone tablets, 20 grams of MDMA, a small amount of psilocybin (magic mushrooms), a small amount of marijuana, $2,000 in cash, digital scales and packaging consistent with trafficking.

The street value of the drugs is estimated at $14,000.

A 27-year-old Stoney Creek man faces several charges: Possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine; possession for the purpose of trafficking other drugs (oxycodone); possession for the purpose of trafficking other drugs (methylenedioxyamphetamine); possession of psilocybin; possession of marijuana; and proceeds of crime under $5,000.

The suspect, whose name wasn't provided, was released on a promise to appear in court at a future date.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
