Police seized more than two kilograms of cocaine as well as significant amounts of chemicals from a clandestine synthetic drug lab in LaSalle, Ont., on Tuesday.
A clandestine synthetic drug lab is a secret or concealed location where suspects use chemicals to produce or prepare man-made drugs.
OPP and the clandestine laboratory investigative response team received information earlier this month alleging the lab was operating in the town.
On Tuesday, a search warrant was executed in a residential home where police located the clandestine synthetic drug lab, which they say was processing cocaine.
