Drugs found during a northern Ont. traffic stop Tuesday led police to a stash at a Kirkland Lake home and to lay charges against two local people.
Officers pulled a vehicle over on Highway 112 in Pacaud Township shortly after 7:30 p.m. July 16, Ontario Provincial Police said in a news release.
The driver was arrested and police found drugs while searching the vehicle.
As part of the investigation, officers from several units also searched a home on Tweedsmuir Road in Kirkland Lake where suspected cocaine and methamphetamine were seized along with a loaded handgun and drug paraphernalia.
