Three people face drug trafficking charges after La Loche RCMP executed a search warrant last week.
Police searched a residence in connection to an ongoing investigation.
During the search, they seized: approximately 59.3 grams of suspected crack cocaine, approximately 1 mg of methadone, a quantity of prescription drugs, and a quantity of Canadian currency.
As a result, 51-year-old Vernon Laprise, 24-year-old Stacy Lemaigre, and 24-year-old Jayda Boucher-Moise, all from La Loche, have been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
