A 58-year-old Listowel man is facing drug trafficking charges after Perth County OPP executed a search warrant at his residence on Thursday.

According to OPP, the search yielded a quantity of drugs suspected to be methamphetamine.

The man is now facing one charge of possession for the purposes of trafficking. He was released from custody and is set to appear in Stratford court next month.

Perth County OPP say the Huron-Perth and Wellington Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU), West Region Canine Unit, and the Offender Management Apprehension Program (OMAP) assisted in the investigation.
