Ten people have been charged and more than $50,000 in drugs were seized following a drug bust in the Timmins area, police said.
It was a collaboration between Timmins Police Service and Ontario Provincial Police that began in March and resulted in raids Sept. 1 at homes on Pine Street North, Windsor Avenue, and Waterloo Road. Officers also raided a home in the hamlet of Gogama, south of Timmins the following day.
About $5,000 in cash along with $52,500 in drugs were seized by police including:
- 122.4 grams of fentanyl
- 66.2 grams of cocaine
- 30 Xanax tablets
- 1 gram of methamphetamine
- 9 oxycodone tablets
Three suspects accused of drug trafficking are from Timmins: a 61-year-old man, a 63-year-old woman, and a 30-year-old woman. Five others have also been accused of drug trafficking: a 29-year-old man from Mattagami First Nations, a 35-year-old man from Woodstock, a 28-year-old woman from Brantford, and two teens from outside the region.
A 16-year-old male from Scarborough and a 17-year-old male from Oshawa are also facing weapons charges.

None of the allegations has been proven in court.
