Police have arrested one person and are looking for another after more than $250,000 in illicit drugs were seized during a bust in Chatham.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers with the Intelligence Section executed two search warrants on Keil Drive South on Tuesday as part of an ongoing investigation.
Authorities seized a total of $253,320 worth of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine, along with another $22,000 worth of stolen property, a loaded Glock handgun, digital scales, cell phones, and a large amount of cash.
As a result, a 22-year-old Chatham man has been arrested and is now charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose among other weapon offences.
Police said officers are currently searching for a 19-year-old woman in connection with the investigation, who is facing similar charges.
Anyone with information that could assist investigators is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
