Dryden Police have a 29-year-old man in custody after executing a search warrant on an Orvis Street home last night.
Officers seized a large quantity of cocaine and ecstasy, an unregistered firearm, ammunition, 3-prohibited weapons including a set of 3-ninja spikes, a baton knife, pepper spray and cash.
Police say Lee Chartrand of Dryden faces 2-counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, 4-firearm related offences, 3-counts of possession of prohibited weapons and 1-count of possession of property obtained by crime.
Police Chief Shayne MacKinnon says this is considered to be a major drug trafficking arrest and seizure.

He says the Police Service is determined to put pressure on traffickers in the future with the view of making Dryden drug free.
