A Noëlville woman is facing several drug charges after West Nipissing OPP raided a Sturgeon Falls apartment last week armed with a search warrant.

West Nipissing OPP said on Aug. 19 officers with the Community Street Crime Unit and the West Nipissing detachment stormed a rental unit on Front Street in Sturgeon Falls to execute the warrant.

“Officers seized a quantity of drugs suspected to be: Fentanyl, crystal methamphetamine and cocaine, along with drug paraphernalia and over $1,100 in Canadian currency,” police said in a news release. “The street value of the drugs seized is approximately $14,700.”

Two people were charged.

A 32-year-old Noëlville woman faces two counts of possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and one count of possession of a controlled substance (other drugs).

She was released on an undertaking, police said, and has an Oct. 1 date at the Ontario Court of Justice.

A 35-year-old man from St. Clair Township, near Sarnia, is charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking (opioid), possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking (cocaine), two counts of possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession of a Schedule 1 substance (opioid, other than heroin) and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.

The man had an Aug. 24 bail court hearing in North Bay.
