Provincial police officers raided two residences in Simcoe County Thursday morning as part of a months-long drug trafficking investigation that resulted in the arrests of two people.

Officers with the Orillia OPP Street Crime Unit and the Community Mobilization Unit took a 29-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man into custody after executing the search warrants at undisclosed addresses.

Police say the searches led to the seizure of 2,250 grams of cocaine, $17,500 in Canadian cash, drug packaging materials, cellular devices and a 2023 Mercedes C53 AMG.

The two accused face charges of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

The woman has been held in custody pending a bail hearing while the man was released with a future court date.
