OTTAWA — Five people are facing charges after Ottawa police seized cocaine, ammunition, cash and jewelry from an Orleans home.

Police say the evidence seized included a quantity of cocaine, a cocaine press, non-prescription pills, ammunition, Canadian currency and jewelry.

Five people are facing charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking. A 30-year-old man is also charged with possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.
