A Norfolk County man is facing multiple charges after police seized a prohibited weapon and drugs Monday.

Ontario Provincial Police say they were called around 12:08 p.m. to a location on Highway 3 in Simcoe, where a driver was arrested in relation to drug trafficking offences.

Investigators carried out a search warrant nearly an hour later at a home on Oakwood Avenue. Officers seized a quantity of suspected cocaine and methylenedioxymethamphetamine, cash, drug paraphernalia and a prohibited weapon.

Justin Haskett, 35, has been charged with unauthorized possession of a weapon and three drug-related offences.

Haskett was held in custody pending a bail hearing scheduled for Tuesday at the Ontario Court of Justice in Simcoe.
