Nearly half a million dollars in illegal drugs were taken off the streets in the Rainy River district as a result of investigations by the Fort Frances Community Drug Action Team in 2010.
Much of it was marijuana, but police also seized quantities of prescription drugs, ecstasy and cocaine.
O.P.P. Constable Anne McCoy says the team's work is making a difference.
"We had over 41 Controlled Drugs and Substances Act charges laid," says McCoy. "We had over 23 Criminal Code charges and there were 10 Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrants."
The team was formed just over a year to focus on the area's illegal drug trade.
