On Dec. 6, members of the Kenora OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) observed a female who was wanted on an outstanding warrant in the city’s downtown core, police said in a news release.

"The female was arrested and upon search officers located a quantity of cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, Canadian currency, pepper spray and other items associated with drug trafficking were seized," the OPP said.
