Oshawa Convenience Store Employees Arrested for Drug Trade

Three workers at a convenience store in Oshawa are facing accusations of using the business as a cover for drug trafficking and exchanging drugs for alcohol.

Durham Regional Police’s East Crime Team launched an investigation this month into All in One Convenience on Park Road after getting a tip-off about illegal drug sales and trades happening at the store.

This past Wednesday, investigators, along with the Drug Enforcement Unit, carried out search warrants at both the convenience store and a home in Toronto. They found two men and a woman inside the store who were then arrested. The searches uncovered various drugs, drug paraphernalia, over 250 bottles of stolen alcohol valued at more than $20,000, illegal cigarettes, stolen clothing items, and significant amounts of cash.

Mayuresh Mahendran, 22, from Toronto is charged with trafficking fentanyl, crack cocaine, and cannabis; possession of crystal methamphetamine and unmarked cigarettes; plus possession of stolen property.

Fredy Biju, also 22 and from Oshawa, faces charges related to trafficking fentanyl, crack cocaine, hydromorphone; as well as unmarked cigarettes and possession of stolen property.

Emilie Ann Crissinger, 22 years old from Clarington is charged with trafficking fentanyl and crack cocaine along with possession of stolen property.

All three have been held for a bail hearing.
