The Ontario Provincial Police has charged five individuals following a search and subsequent arrests in the Municipality of Trent Hills.
Wednesday, members of the Peterborough/Northumberland Community Street Crime Unit with assistance from the OPP Canine Unit (K9), executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act warrant at a residence on Grand Road.
During the search, officers located ammunition, a bullet‑proof vest, approximately $1,000 in Canadian currency, and roughly 170 grams of suspected cocaine.
One individual attempted to flee the area and discarded a loaded handgun, which was later recovered by police.
A separate traffic stop nearby resulted in the arrest of a person wanted on warrants and another occupant. A search of the vehicle yielded a loaded handgun, approximately 310 grams of suspected cocaine, and over $10,000 in Canadian currency.
