Drug trafficking investigation in Gananoque leads to charges

OPP seized weapons, cocaine, cash and more.

A Gananoque man is facing charges after an OPP drug trafficking investigation.

Members of the OPP East Region Street Crime Unit began an investigation earlier this year into suspected drug trafficking in Gananoque and Leeds County.

On Thursday, they along with OPP Emergency Response Team and members of Gananoque Police Service executed a serach warrant at a home on North St.

A replica handgun, .22 calibre rifle, and almost 50 grams of suspected cocaine were seized as well as cash and items they say were typically associated with drug trafficking.

A 39-year-old was arrested and was held for a bail hearing.
