Two people are facing drug and weapon related charges after the Ontario Provincial Police seized over $80,000 in drugs and property.
Officers began the investigation in November, dubbed project “Trios,” which led to one arrest on Dec. 13.
As a result of the initial arrest, police seized fentanyl, cocaine, two phones, and around $5,200 in cash.
The following day, Haldimand and Norfolk County OPP executed a search warrant at a property on Pine St. in Dunnville, where another person was arrested.
