Chatham-Kent police said a 51-year-old Tilbury resident, a 56-year-old Wheatley resident, a 59-year-old Wheatley resident, and a 60-year-old Wheatley resident were all charged with three counts of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking after officers executed search warrants at the two locations on Friday and found cocaine, hydromorphone capsules, and oxycodone pills.

Police said the estimated street value of the drugs they seized is $4,000. Officers also seized an undisclosed quantity of Canadian cash, drug packaging materials, and digital scales.

The accused were all later released pending a future court date.
