The two, both of whom are 20, were taken into custody.

The pair face four counts each of possession for the purpose of drug trafficking. One of them is also charged with fleeing a police officer.

One man is still in police custody until his bail hearing, while the other was released.

The two will have a chance to fight the charges against them in the Ontario Court of Justice.

The OPP said the Essex County Community Street Crime Unit, the Emergency Response Team, and the K-9 Unit helped carry out the search warrant.
