Marathon police seized prohibited firearms, as well as suspected illicit substances, including cocaine, methamphetamine and psilocybin.
Two people from Marathon, Ont., have been charged with drug and weapons offences after a raid of a residence in the community uncovered several weapons and a large cache of drugs.
Ontario Provincial Police raided the McLeod Drive residence May 22 following an investigation into drug trafficking in the community.
'During the search, officers seized prohibited firearms, as well as suspected illicit substances, including cocaine, methamphetamine and psilocybin,' the OPP said in a news release Monday.
Two Marathon residents -- a 40-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman -- face several drug trafficking charges.
In addition, the man is charged with two counts of failing to comply with a release order, several weapons-related offences and two counts of possession of property obtained by crime.
The woman has been released with a July 16 court date in Marathon, while the man is still in jail.
