Three charged after Delhi drug bust

Provincial police seized cocaine, fentanyl, and a rifle during a raid at a Delhi home early Wednesday.

Officers with the Haldimand and Norfolk street crime unit, emergency response team, and the tactics and rescue unit searched a home on Bell street just before 4 a.m. Inside they found an undisclosed quantity of the two illicit drugs along with a rifle, a replica handgun, ammunition, other prohibited weapons and drug paraphernalia.

Two men and a woman, all from Norfolk County, were arrested.

A 31-year-old man, a 33-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman have since been charged with possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking.

The two men are additionally charged with unauthorized possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

The 31-year-old also faces charges for unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm, prohibited or restricted weapon obtained by crime, careless storage of a firearm, weapon, prohibited device or ammunition, and possession of a firearm knowing serial number has been tampered with. He remains in police custody awaiting a bail hearing, police said.

The other two accused have been released and are expected to appear in court in relation to the charges on July 25.
