weapons charges

Two people are facing charges after Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) seized property valued at more than $325,000 in the Rainy River District.

On May 7, OPP Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU) with assistance from the Kenora CSCU, Dryden CSCU, Kenora Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau (OCEB), Northwest Region Emergency Response Team (ERT), and the Canine Unit, executed a search warrant in Fort Frances.

During the search, police seized a large quantity of cocaine and fentanyl, along with hydromorphone, oxycodone, Canadian currency, American currency, and evidence of drug trafficking and weapons.

Both accused, age 54 and 45, are expected to appear in court at a later date.
