Two people face drug possession charges following a joint investigation between police in Cobourg and Port Hope, Ont.

Early this year, the Port Hope Police Service and neighbouring Cobourg Police Service launched a drug investigation within the Municipality of Port Hope.

According to Port Hope police, as part of the investigation, early Tuesday officers executed a search warrant at a unit of a home on Walton Street in Port Hope.

The search led to the arrest of two people who were in possession of a “small amount” of cocaine, police said.
