Investigators located a “large” quantity of cocaine and cash in the vehicle. Two people were arrested.

The seizure led to a search warrant being executed at a residence in Curve Lake, which led to additional cocaine being seized along with cellphones and a computer.

Two Curve Lake First Nation men, ages 42 and 43, were each charged with possession of a Schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime under $5,000.

Both were released and are scheduled to appear in court in Peterborough on June 13, OPP said Thursday.
