Halton Regional Police arrested two Burlington residents and seized more than 300 grams of cocaine along with five firearms following a two-month investigation into drug trafficking in Burlington.
Police say a male suspect has been identified as part of their investigation after he was allegedly observed conducting several drug transactions from his vehicle.
On Wednesday, investigators arrested the suspect at Pearson Airport after he arrived from out of the country.
“A woman associated with the suspect was also arrested as she was in possession of the suspect vehicle at the time,” police said in a press release.
Police say a search warrant was later executed at a residence on Plains Road in Burlington.
As a result, police seized 345 grams of cocaine, five firearms – which were legally owned but illegally stored – ammunition, currency and other items related to drug trafficking.
Aaron McIsaac and Paige Chettle, both 27, are charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and two counts of breaching firearms regulations.
MacIsaac was held for a bail hearing and Chettle was released on bond, according to police.
Police are asking anyone with information regarding this investigation to contact the District 3 Street Crimes Unit at 905-825-4777 ext. 2342, or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
