The drugs included methamphetamine, cocaine, diazepam and small amount of marijuana.

Police also say two young children were found inside the room and have been taken into care by the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society.
Thirty-six-year-old Michael Austin Rutledge and 33-year-old Ashley Nicole Goncalves, both of no fixed address, are charged with various drug-related offences and driving while suspended.
Both were denied bail at a hearing this morning and will be kept in custody until their next court appearance on Monday.
