Three people are facing charges after a traffic stop in Peterborough led to the discovery of drugs and weapons.
Just after 8:30pm on Friday, an officer on general patrol pulled over a vehicle near Monaghan Road and Albert Street. Police say the driver was found to be suspended, and a female passenger was wanted on an outstanding warrant from another jurisdiction. Both were taken into custody, and a second male passenger was arrested after officers searched the vehicle.
Police seized a quantity of drugs, including 3.3 grams of fentanyl, 2.1 grams of crack cocaine, 1.7 grams of cocaine, and six hydromorphone pills. Officers also found drug paraphernalia, three knives, an expandable baton, brass knuckles, and bear spray.
A 30-year-old woman from Lakefield is facing multiple charges, including drug possession, unauthorized possession of weapons, and breach of recognizance. She was held in custody and appeared in WASH court on July 12.
A 47-year-old Peterborough man was charged with unauthorized possession of a weapon and driving while under suspension. A 35-year-old Peterborough man was also charged with unauthorized possession of a weapon and possession of crack cocaine.
Both men were released and are scheduled to appear in court on August 19.
