Three people are facing charges after police say they seized drugs, ammunition and cash during a traffic stop and subsequent search warrant at a home in St. Thomas.
St. Thomas police say they pulled over a vehicle around 8 a.m. Saturday for Highway Traffic Act violations. The male driver was taken into custody by police, and a quantity of suspected crystal methamphetamine was located during a search of the driver, police said.
Police added that a search of the vehicle turned up more crystal meth, as well as a quantity of ammunition, other unspecified weapons and an empty gun holster. A male passenger in the vehicle was found to have a large quantity of Canadian currency, police said.
Police say a search warrant conducted later at a home in St. Thomas saw the seizure of what police have only described as a “large quantity of unknown white substance,” along with various pills, and a small quantity of crystal methamphetamine and marijuana. Two replica firearms were also seized, police said.
Police said they seized 18 grams of crystal meth, 186 grams of the unknown substance, pills, and approximately $2,900 in cash. The unknown substance would be sent for analysis, police said.
