Thousands of dollars in fentanyl and methamphetamine have been taken off the streets following a drug bust in Chatham.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers executed a search warrant at an unspecified location in Chatham on Wednesday as part of an ongoing drug investigation.
The Critical Incident Response Team and the Chatham-Kent Police Intelligence Section seized around $36,000 worth of fentanyl and methamphetamine, along with multiple digital scales and other drug paraphernalia.
As a result, one man from Sarnia, one man from London, two men from Chatham, and a Chatham woman were arrested and charged with multiple drug offences including possessing a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. A second woman from Chatham will also be charged at a later date, police said.
Two of the accused were held for a bail hearing, while the other three were released with conditions and a future court date.
