Ontario Provincial Police say a traffic stop Wednesday in Sturgeon Falls uncovered cocaine and a firearm.
A vehicle with three people inside was pulled over at 12:14 a.m. on Front Street, police said in a news release Thursday.
“As a result of the investigation, three people have been arrested,” police said.
“A search of the vehicle located a firearm and drugs suspected to be cocaine, with an estimated street value over $12,000.”
Charged are a 31-year-old suspect from Ottawa, a 33-year-old from Brampton and a 43-year-old resident of M'Chigeeng First Nation.
They are each facing trafficking and firearms possession charges and are expected to appear in bail court Thursday in North Bay.
