The Timmins Police Service charged three people with weapons and drug offences stemming from an incident early in the afternoon on Nov. 30 in Timmins.

In a news release Thursday, police said they caught sight of a drug transaction taking place in a vehicle on Waterloo Road.

“Responding officers contained the area and proceeded to complete arrests of the occupants of the vehicle,” the release said.

“Quantities of opioids and cocaine with a street value of over $18,000, along with a loaded handgun, were located within the vehicle by the Timmins police.”
