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.
