OTTAWA: Three people have been charged with drug and weapon-related offences after Ottawa police executed a warrant at a home in the 300 block of Abbeydale Circle in the South March community of north Kanata.
The drug unit executed the warrant on June 24 and seized 961.85 grams of cocaine, worth more than $95,000, said police in a news release.
They also seized $15,770 in Canadian currency, $961 in U.S. currency, two stun guns, a handgun silencer, a pistol grip and foregrip kit for a shotgun, a Canadian Armed Forces ballistic vest and more.
As a result, a 30-year-old man was charged with two counts of possession of a Schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking, possessing a prohibited device, two counts of possessing a prohibited weapon and possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.
A 21-year-old woman was also charged with possession for the purposes of trafficking, and a third person was facing charges though police did not give details of the charges.
The court date for the 30- and 21-year-olds is July 22.
Police would not say whether those charged were suspected of trafficking cocaine locally, saying the matter is before the courts.
