The investigation began last month into a suspected drug dealer from southern Ontario believed to be trafficking illicit substances in Sudbury, police said in a news release Friday morning.
Thursday, shortly after 10 a.m., officers raided a St. George Street home shortly and found more than 957 grams of cocaine, more than 15.8 kilograms of methamphetamine and 150 Oxycodone pills.
A replica handgun and about $20,000 in cash was also seized in the search.
As a result, a 40-year-old Greater Sudbury woman and a 65-year-old southern Ontario man are charged with drug trafficking, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and having property obtained by crime.
