Three people have been arrested after a vehicle was pulled over in the Township of Machin.

The Dryden OPP say they did a traffic stop, last Thursday, July 25 just after 11 pm on Highway 17 near Vermilion Bay.

As a result of their investigation a quantity of methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl, morphine and hydromorphone were seized along with other drug paraphernalia.

Police determined the vehicle they were driving was stolen from Machin.

A 33-year-old man from Fort Severn First Nation, a 29-year-old woman from Dryden and a 29-year-old man from Machin face a number of charges including drug trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.

The two men remain in custody as they failed to comply with a probation order and a release order.

The third person has been released and is due to appear in court on August 26th on the charges.
