Three men are facing charges following a drug bust in Tilbury.
The Ontario Provincial Police said officers with the Community Street Crime Unit, Tactics and Rescue Unit, Emergency Response Team, and Canine Unit executed a search warrant at a Tilbury residence on October 15.
During a search of the property, police seized a quantity of suspected cocaine, a firearm, Canadian currency, and drug trafficking paraphernalia. The amount and value of the drugs have not been released.
A 25-year-old North York man, a 45-year-old Tilbury man, and a 24-year-old Cambridge man were all arrested at the scene and charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
The North York man is additionally charged with several firearms offences, including possession of a loaded prohibited firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and careless storage of a firearm. He remains in custody pending his next court appearance.
The other two suspects have since been released and will answer the charges in court in January.
Anyone with further information about this investigation is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
