Detectives allege those charged engaged in trafficking drugs within Brantford and throughout southwestern Ontario.

The two Brantford residents, 27 and 24, are facing charges connected with possessing drugs for the purpose of trafficking and unauthorized firearms.

“This investigation has resulted in removing over $1,000,000 in illegal drugs, firearms from our community – the largest seizure of its kind through a BPS and SNP-led investigation,” said Brantford Police chief Rob Davis in a statement following the seizures.
