One person has been arrested following an OPP investigation that revealed the location of a drug lab.
On September 9 just before 6:30 p.m., South Bruce OPP officers responded to a report of an assault involving a firearm.
Following that, police executed a search warrant on September 11 at a home in Walkerton. A 51-year-old resident of Walkerton was arrested without incident and held for a bail hearing.
