A drug trafficking investigation by the Thunder Bay Police Service has resulted in charges against two suspects and the seizure of suspected cocaine, fentanyl and thousands of dollars in cash.

Officers executed a search warrant at a home on Syndicate Avenue North on Feb. 10. Two people inside the residence were taken into custody during the search.

“Suspected cocaine and fentanyl were also seized along with more than $5,000 in cash,” police said in a news release.

As a result of the investigation, a 20-year-old man from Toronto and a 65-year-old man from Thunder Bay are each facing two counts of drug trafficking, one count of possession of property obtained by crime, and one count of obstructing a peace officer.

Both accused remain in custody and are scheduled to appear in court at a future date.
