Seized firearms and drugs

Three brothers are facing multiple firearms and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) charges after search warrants were executed in the Town of Newmarket and City of Richmond Hill.

On Friday, April 19, 2024, uniformed officers conducted a traffic stop in the area of Fernbank Road and Mulock Drive in Newmarket after an off-duty YRP officer reported a possible impaired driver.

The driver was arrested for Impaired Operation by Drug and Possession of a Controlled Substance after a small amount of what is believed to be cocaine was located. After further investigation, investigators from the #4 District Criminal Investigations Bureau sought and obtained a CDSA search warrant for two addresses.

As a result of the search warrants, a large arsenal of firearms was located and seized, many of which were loaded and stored improperly. A large quantity of various drugs, including cocaine and fentanyl, was also located and seized with an approximate street value of $60,000.

Marcus BOROWSKI, 25, of Newmarket, Matthew BOROWSKI, 23, of Richmond Hill and Joshua BOROWSKI, 27, of Richmond Hill are all facing multiple charges. Please see the attached charge list.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the York Regional Police #4 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7445, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or leave an anonymous tip online at www.1800222tips.com.
