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.
Nadine Dean, 34, of Cobourg, and Stephen Dean, 41, of Port Hope, were each charged with possession of a controlled substance and failure to comply with a release order (four counts for Nadine; one for Stephen).
Both were held in custody and are scheduled to appear in court for bail hearings in Cobourg on Wednesday.
