Police say a 21-year-old Guelph man faces multiple charges following a lengthy prescription fraud investigation dating back to last year.
Authorities said they discovered at least 22 prescription fraud cases after they began investigating early last year and believe more went undetected.
They said several people working together recruited others to use fake IDs to submit and collect fraudulent prescriptions.
Police arrested the accused on Tuesday and a search led to them finding a weapon on him as well.
