Drug Charges Laid

A busy couple of months for the OPP and the Fort Frances Community Drug Action team.

They arrested and charged four men, a woman and a youth and seized quantities of prescription medications and marijuana in five separate drug investigations in September and October.

In one case a 67-year-old Fort Frances man was arrested after police stopped a vehicle traveling from Thunder Bay to find 95 oxycodone pills and more than 760-dollars in cash.

In Atikokan on Halloween eve, a 20-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman were charged after OPP searched a home on Poplar Avenue to find 2-and-a-half pounds of marihuana and 54-hundred dollars in cash.
