Three people, including a man from Ridgetown, are facing multiple charges after a stop at a RIDE Program in Stratford led to the seizure of more than $100,000 worth of illicit drugs.
The Stratford Police Service said officers were conducting a RIDE Program on Huron and York streets on Thursday shortly before 10 p.m. when they stopped a white Chevrolet Equinox.
After the driver was found to have a suspended license, an initial search of the vehicle turned up a prohibited knife, as well as fentanyl and methamphetamine.
A further search of the vehicle ultimately led to the seizure of cocaine, hydromorphone pills, cannabis and over $8,000 in cash. The total value of the cash and drugs is estimated at over $180,000.
As a result, a 40-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man from Windsor, as well as a 41-year-old Ridgetown man, all face multiple charges related to the seizure. All have since been remanded into custody following a bail hearing.
