Devlin Drug Bust

The seizure of a quantity of marijuana and cannabis marijuana has resulted in drug charges being laid against two residents of Devlin.

Constable Anne McCoy says the charges stem from an investigation involving members of the Fort Frances OPP Detachment, their Drug Enforcement Section and the Northwest Region Drug Unit.

Over fifty marihuana plants and 700 grams of cannabis marihuana were seized.

Police estimate the street value of over $68,000.

Ryan Lennstrom and Donna Shoemaker, both of Devlin, have been charged under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act including one count of production of marihuana and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Both are scheduled to appear in Fort Frances Court on October 5.
