Drug Action Team Busy

Several individuals face a variety of drug charges as a result of three separate investigations involving members of the new Fort Frances Community Drug Action Team.

Among them the discovery of an indoor marijuana grow operation at a Victoria Avenue home Wednesday where 110 marijuana plants, four pounds of marijuana shake along with hydroponic grow equipment and drug paraphernalia were seized.

Constable Anne McCoy says its a significant seizure for the team formed this past summer, and that worked along side other sections of the OPP in the cases.

"They've been working very hard pulling in their resources and gathering information," says McCoy. "It just shows the amount of work the officers are doing. It's starting to pay off."

An unidentified man will appear in court in December in connection with the Victoria Avenue incident.

Two other men will appear in court next month after OPP seized 49 grams of marijuana from a Church Street home on September 28th.

While one woman and two men are in court in November after 17 marijuana plants were discovered at an outdoor grow operation in LaVallee township.
