Two charged in South Huron bust

Two South Huron residents are facing drug trafficking charges after a month-long investigation initiated by the Huron-Perth OPP Community Street Crimes Unit (CSCU).

OPP said the investigation started in January led investigators to addresses in South Huron.

On Friday, February 21, search warrants were executed on Main Street and McConnell Street in the Town of Exeter.

Police said the search resulted in the seizure of a quantity of suspected fentanyl and methamphetamine. The total value of the drugs seized is estimated at $15,990 and additional offence-related property and cash seized by police totalled $3,250.

A 38-year-old man from South Huron is facing charges including possession for the purpose of trafficking (fentanyl and methamphetamine), possession of a prohibited device, possession of a weapon contrary to prohibition order and failure to comply with conditions of a release order.

A 32-year-old woman from South Huron was also charged with possession of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking.

Both will appear in Goderich court at a later date.

OPP said the investigation was assisted by members of the Huron County OPP Major Crime Unit, Wellington County OPP CSCU, and Grey-Bruce OPP CSCU.
