Two people have been charged after a traffic stop in Kingston early Thursday resulted in the seizure of cocaine, fentanyl and other drugs.
At approximately 2:20 a.m., members of the Kingston Police Patrol Division conducted a traffic stop in the area of Bath Road and Armstrong Road in relation to a Highway Traffic Act violation.
Upon approaching the vehicle officers identified a violation being committed by one of the occupants under the Cannabis Control Act.
A subsequent search of the vehicle and occupants lead to the discovery of approximately 340 Hydromorphone pills, 30 Adderall pills, 150 grams of Fentanyl, 17 grams of cocaine, 20 grams of crack cocaine, five cell phones, two digital scales and $4000 in Canadian currency.
A 29-year-old of the Greater Toronto Area and a 27-year-old of Port Hope were arrested and charged jointly with five counts of possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking. Additionally, the 29-year-old was charged with possession of proceeds obtained by crime.
Both accused parties were transported to Kingston police headquarters where they were held for a bail hearing and subsequently remanded in custody.
