Two charged with drug trafficking after Gravenhurst investigation

Two people from Gravenhurst are facing charges following a drug trafficking investigation.

According to the OPP, officers launched an investigation into suspected drug trafficking activity in Gravenhurst earlier this spring.

Police say the investigation led to the execution of a search warrant at a residence on Muskoka Road South near Main Street last Thursday (June 4).

The OPP says officers seized quantities of suspected cocaine and oxycodone, along with Canadian currency and other evidence during the search.

As a result, a 41-year-old from Gravenhurst was charged with the following:

  • Possession of a Schedule I substance (cocaine) for the purpose of trafficking
  • Possession of a Schedule I substance (oxycodone) for the purpose of trafficking
  • Possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime under $5000
  • Possession of a weapon contrary to order

Additionally, a 40-year-old from Gravenhurst was charged with the following:

  • Possession of a Schedule I substance (cocaine) for the purpose of trafficking
  • Possession of a Schedule I substance (oxycodone) for the purpose of trafficking
  • Possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime under $5000
