OPP charge two teens for drug trafficking in Dunnville

Three people, two of them teenagers, were recently arrested in Dunnville and hit with drug trafficking charges following a traffic stop.

OPP say the stop followed a drug investigation launched by its Haldimand/Norfolk detachment earlier this year.

Following the stop, provincial officers carried out a raid at a residence on Main Street, where seized prohibited weapons, suspected fentanyl, cocaine, drug paraphernalia and cash.

Police estimate the contraband was worth over $5,000.

A 15-year-old from Scarborough is facing two counts of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.

Also charged was a 17-year-old from Brantford who is facing an unauthorized weapons charge, two trafficking charges, a proceeds of crime charge, and two counts of breaking a previously issued court order.

The third person arrested and charged was 38-year-old Elizabeth Smith of Dunnville.

She is facing two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

All three will have their day in a Cayuga courthouse in the near future.
