Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) from the Temiskaming detachment were dispatched to a break and enter in progress in the Town of Cobalt on Friday night. 

Officials say officers were called to Commission Street shortly after 9:30 p.m. where an investigation revealed two individuals had entered a residence before they were confronted by the owner. 

One of the individuals fled on foot before police arrived, while the other, a 25-year-old Cobalt woman, remained on scene. 

The accused initially provided officers with a false name and once in custody, a search yielded a quantity of controlled substances.

The woman has been charged with:

  • Obstruct peace officer
  • Possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of Trafficking opioid (other than heroin)
  • Possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000
  • Failure to comply with release order - other than to attend court

She was held for a bail hearing and is scheduled to appear at a later date.
