LaSalle duo face drug, weapon charges

Two LaSalle residents are facing charges after police searched a home as part of an ongoing investigation.

Members from multiple detachments of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the LaSalle Police Service used search warrants to enter a home on Kassas Street on Tuesday.

As a result of the warrants and the ensuing search, a 34-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were arrested.

The pair face charges, including possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a prohibited weapon.

The man was held in police custody pending a court appearance. The woman has since been released with an August court date.
