More than two dozen charges have been laid following a drug bust on Walpole Island First Nation.
The Ontario Provincial Police, with assistance from the Walpole Island Police Service, executed a search warrant at a residence on Tecumseh Road on January 30, as part of an ongoing drug investigation.
During a search, officers seized a quantity of suspected fentanyl, cocaine, several firearms, Canadian currency, and other offence-related items. The combined value of the items seized is estimated at around $19,400.

He was remanded into custody pending his next court appearance.
