Bancroft OPP say around 3 a.m. on June 20, officers executed drug warrants at two locations on Woodview Lane, about 105 kilometres north of Peterborough. They seized alleged stolen items along with morphine, cocaine, cannabis products, heroin, drug paraphernalia and cash.
The investigation — which led to the arrest of four adults and a youth — involved the OPP’s Community Street Crime Unit, Emergency Response Team, Tactics Response Unit and Canine Unit.
