NAPS Charges 2 in Chapleau Drug Bust

Two people are facing drug trafficking charges after a bust in Chapleau.

Nishnawbe Aski Police say the NAPS Intelligence Unit and Emergency Response Team - along with the OPP Chapleau detachment - executed a search warrant at a Chapleau residence last Thursday, finding and seizing "a quantity of suspected cocaine, fentanyl, and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking", with the estimated street value of the drugs totalling $10,000.

One person was arrested at the residence and another nearby, without incident.

The two - identified only as a 32-year-old female and a 36-year-old male, both from Chapleau - have been charged with possession of cocaine and fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking, and released with conditions and future court dates.
