A Lachute resident is facing possible drug-related charges after a search and arrest at a residence.
On March 1, MRC d’Argenteuil Sûreté du Québec officers carried an arrest and a search in connection with drug trafficking at a residence on Rue Mitchell in Lachute.
The police intervention followed an investigation initiated by information received from the public. A 33-year-old man from Lachute was arrested and later released. He will return to court at a later date in Saint-Jérôme. The suspect could face charges of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, cannabis law offenses and firearms offences.
During the search, police seized small quantities of cannabis, crack cocaine, prescription drugs, an amount of money and a prohibited weapon.
The Sûreté du Québec reminds that any information relating to the trafficking or production of narcotics can be communicated at any time, confidentially, to the Criminal Information Centre of the Sûreté du Québec at 1 800 659-4264.
