NAPS Arrests 3 in Chapleau Drug Bust

Three people are facing charges after a major drug bust in Chapleau.

Nishnawbe-Aski Police say a search warrant was executed on Blue Jay Crescent on Thursday - as part of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking at that address and into Brunswick House First Nation - with a search of the home resulting in the seizure of a quantity of suspected fentanyl, cocaine, and crystal methamphetamine, as well as cash, and "paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking".

A 36-year-old man, a 41-year-old woman, and a 35-year-old woman were arrested without incident, charged with possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime - all three were released with an April court date.
