Two people face trafficking charges after a drug seizure in Quinte West.
The OPP East Region Community Street Crime Unit began an investigation earlier this year into drug trafficking in the area of downtown Trenton, eventually leading to a search warrant at an apartment on Creswell Drive on Friday.
In that search officers seized over 32 grams of suspected fentanyl, more than 2.5 grams of suspected cocaine and more than two grams of suspected crack cocaine, as well as cash and items typically associated with drug trafficking. Two people were arrested without incident.
Austin Cooney, 30 and Daniel Van Clief, 53, both from Quinte West, have each been charged with:
- Possession of Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking – two counts
- Possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime under $5000
- Fail to comply with a probation order
The accused were held for a bail hearing in Belleville on Friday.
