On Jan. 4 shortly after 4 p.m., members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) executed a search warrant at a residence on Kirkpatrick Street, police said in a news release.
“The OPP seized a suspected amount of methamphetamine, cocaine, oxycodone, and hydromorphone with an approximate street value of $49,000,” said police.
“Also seized was suspected stolen property from a previously reported break and enter and theft.”
As a result of the investigation, a 54-year-old, a 25-year-old and a 17-year-old all from Kirkland Lake were charged with drug trafficking.
The 25-year-old is also charged with three counts of failing to comply with a release order, possession of a prohibited device or ammunition and possession of property obtained by crime – they have been remanded into custody.
The other two accused have been released and are scheduled to appear in court at a later date to answer to the charges.
