THUNDER BAY — Two teens from Toronto face charges after police searched a north side home over the weekend.
Thunder Bay police officers were sent to a residential address in the 100 block of Cumberland Street South just before 6 a.m. Sunday after receiving reports of two individuals possessing illegal handguns.
Responding officers identified two suspects, who are allegedly involved in ongoing drug trafficking activity. Both suspects were arrested and taken to the police station.
A search warrant was executed at the address later in the day, leading to the seizure of suspected cocaine, fentanyl, cash and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking.
A 17-year-old and 16-year-old are each charged with two counts of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. One is also charged with failing to comply with an undertaking.
Both are expected to appear in a Thunder Bay bail court on Monday.
