An undercover investigation in North Bay has ended with criminal charges for 10 North Bay suspects and the seizure of $92K of illegal drugs.

Four people, including a teen from Toronto, have been accused of drug trafficking after a raid on a First Nation community on Highway 69.

Anishinabek Police Service said officers executing a search warrant seized illicit drugs and arrested four people.

The suspects include a 33-year-old local woman, a 27-year-old man and 42-year-old woman from Parry Sound.

A 16-year-old from Toronto wanted by York Regional Police was also arrested in the drug bust.

All four suspects are also charged with having proceeds of crime.

“APS remains committed to keeping our communities safe and holding those involved in criminal activity accountable,” Anishinabek police said in a social media post Tuesday.

A photo of the items seized showed three plastic baggies containing unknown substances, a container with a green lid, a metal spoon, two scales, and stacks of cash.

Sgt. Chantal Larocque confirmed in an email to CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca 21 grams of cocaine were seized along with $5,500 in cash.
