Three Londoners Charged In Separate Drug Busts

Two men and a woman are facing drug charges after two separate drug busts at opposite ends of London Thursday.

Officers with the Guns and Drugs Section searched a home on Forward Ave., seizing 19g of cocaine and 97g of marijuana valued at $2,870. Police also found a butterfly knife and a digital weigh scale.

The same day, police also raided a home on Vinewood Court, turning up a variety of hydromorphone pills worth nearly $1,000 and $300 cash. Undisclosed stolen property was also found inside the home.

A 50-year-old London man was arrested in connection to the Forward Ave. bust. He is charged with half a dozen offences including possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a prohibited weapon.

A 38-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man, both from London, are charged with possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 in relation to the Vinewood bust.
