Youth Charged In Blenheim Bust

A tip to Chatham-Kent police has led to a drug bust in Blenheim.

Officers say they got information about a large number of high school students and other young persons frequenting a specific address to buy and use illegal drugs.

Members of the Intelligence Section executed a warrant yesterday and seized almost $4,000 worth of pot, cash and digital scales.

A 16-year-old Blenheim youth was charged with trafficking and drug possession and released into the care of a parent pending a future court date.
