Five Facing Drug Charges

Four men and a woman are facing drug charges following a series of separate investigations by the OPP in the Rainy River district in the past couple of weeks.

Three of the people were found with a total of over 80 oxycodone tablets.

Another was charged after police seized 20 marijuana plants and 32 grams of marijuana from the LaVallee township area.

And last Friday, acting on a tip, police intercepted a Thunder Bay man travelling to Fort Frances to find 126 grams of marihuana, drug paraphernalia and a butterfly knife in his possession.
