THUNDER BAY — Three people are facing drug-trafficking charges after city police allegedly found cocaine and fentanyl in a north-side residence on Monday.
Members of the Thunder Bay Police Service's intelligence unit carried out a search warrant at home on Gemstone Drive.
The warrant was obtained as a result of an investigation into suspected drug-trafficking.
Three suspects were located in the residence and all three were arrested.
A search of the home resulted in the seizure of suspected cocaine and fentanyl and more than $5,000 in cash, according to a news release issued Tuesday. Paraphernalia consistent with drug-trafficking was also seized, said police.
Police estimate the value of the seized drugs to be about $311,000.
A 26-year-old and 24-year-old, both from Toronto, and a 39-year-old from Thunder Bay were all charged with possession of cocaine and fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
The OPP assisted in the investigation.
It is Newswatch policy not to name people facing criminal accusations when we are unlikely to follow the case to its conclusion in the courts.
