Two people were arrested after some cocaine was confiscated from a location in Picton.

Late in the day on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 members of the East Region Community Street Crime Unit with the assistance of the East Region Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant at an address in Picton.

As a result of the warrant, officers located a quantity of suspected cocaine, scales, and other drug paraphernalia, two batons, and a quantity of Canadian Currency.
