As a result of a police search, C$1,260 in cash, 215 grams of suspected fentanyl, 123 grams of suspected crystal meth, and one grams of suspected cocaine was seized along with a handgun and ammunition.
Two 19-year-olds, a man from Barrie and a woman from Brampton, and a 20-year-old man from Markham are facing between 10 and 13 charges each involving drug trafficking and weapons offences.
All three of the accused were held in custody pending a bail hearing.
None of the allegations has been proven in court.
