Manitoulin OPP has arrested two men following the seizure of more than $66-thousand dollars in drugs last week.

Constable Tessa Kasch says last Friday, police executed a search warrant at a Hardwood Road residence in Baldwin Township.

She says the search yielded over $5,000 in Canadian currency, over 436 grams of suspected crystal methamphetamine and over two grams of cocaine with an estimated street value of over $66,000.

She adds police also recovered a stolen trailer.

Kasch says a 42-year-old man from Baldwin Township has been charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, obstructing a police officer and two counts of possession of stolen property.

She adds a 24-year-old man from Massey has been charged with possession of illicit drugs.

Kasch says the two are to appear in Espanola court on March 7th.
