$60,000 of fentanyl, weapons located in central Toledo home following standoff Monday, police say

TPD said they seized objects including 300 grams of fentanyl valued at $60,000, firearms, marijuana, extended magazines, a drum magazine, ammunition and cellphones.

TOLEDO, Ohio — A police chase led to negotiations between authorities and several subjects inside a home in central Toledo Monday afternoon, and a search warrant with extensive results.

According to a Toledo police report, officers were contacted by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) regarding a vehicle that had eluded them. A TPD detective located the vehicle and stopped it, but as CBP arrived, the suspects fled in the vehicle, leading to a pursuit, police claimed. 

During the pursuit, the suspect vehicle allegedly sideswiped a vehicle on I-75 NB, causing damage but not resulting in injury. The suspect vehicle then came to rest against a parked vehicle and the suspects exited the vehicle and fled the scene. 

People inside the vehicle fled into a residence in the 600 block of Woodland Avenue around 3 p.m., Toledo police said. Police began negotiating with the suspects, including contacting an occupant via cell phone through a relative on scene. However, negotiations were quick and people began leaving the house immediately.

There were no injuries reported.

U.S. Customs and border patrol officers arrived at the scene around 5:30 p.m.
