Two Port Hope-area men and a teen are facing drug charges following a traffic stop in Cobourg.
The Cobourg Police Service says officers stopped a vehicle on Friday morning, which led to an investigation of the driver and passengers inside. Police say one passenger was wanted by Northumberland OPP, and the other passenger and the driver were allegedly found in contravention of their release conditions.
As a result, police say officers searched the vehicle and located an ounce of cocaine, valued at $2,800, along with weighing scales. Three people were arrested.
