Two Consecon Residents Charged Following Multi-Unit OPP Drug and Firearms Investigation
Two individuals from Consecon are facing a series of firearms, drug trafficking, and stolen property charges after Ontario Provincial Police carried out a search warrant at a residence on Salem Road on January 25.
The investigation was led by the OPP East Region Community Street Crime Unit, with support from multiple agencies including the Prince Edward County, Lennox & Addington, Quinte West, Frontenac, and Madoc Community Street Crime Units, as well as the OPP Tactical Response Unit (TRU).
During the search, officers seized four firearms, ammunition, approximately 66 grams of suspected cocaine, 10 grams of suspected methamphetamine, $840 in cash, two digital scales, two stolen snowmobiles, and a stolen dirt bike.
As a result of the operation, a 26-year-old was charged with multiple offences, including four counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm, four counts of careless storage of a firearm or ammunition, possession of Schedule I substances for the purpose of trafficking (cocaine and methamphetamine), two counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000, and possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000.
A 47-year-old was also charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, careless storage of a firearm or ammunition, possession of cocaine and methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000.
Both accused were released from custody and are scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Prince Edward County on February 28.
