Three people facing drug trafficking charges following OPP bust in Dysart

Three people are facing charges following the execution of a search warrant in Dysart et al on Sept. 4.

That’s according to Haliburton Highlands OPP, who said local police, with assistance from City of Kawartha Lakes OPP, executed a search warrant at a Skyline Park Road residence.
Police said officers seized suspected crack cocaine, more than $4,200 in cash and an imitation firearm.

As a result, a 68-year-old from Dysart et al and two 18-year-olds from Oshawa are facing a handful of charges, including drug trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime, and possession of an imitation weapon for dangerous purposes.

All three accused are slated to appear in court in November.
