A search warrant in Trenton has resulted in the seizure of dangerous drugs and the arrests of two people.
Earlier this summer, the OPP East Region Community Street Crime Unit began an investigation into drug trafficking in the area.
Officers with the Community Street Crime Unit, assisted by members of OPP Emergency Response Team, the Canine Unit and the Quinte West Detachment, arrested two people in Trenton. The team later executed a search warrant at a residence on Creswell Drive.
During the search of the individuals, officers seized nearly 11 grams of suspected fentanyl and a bottle of prescription methadone which had the patient’s name torn off.
Officers also seized a set of brass knuckles, a replica handgun, over $2,000 in cash, as well as items typically associated with drug trafficking.
