At around 1:30 p.m., police conducted a traffic stop on Armstrong Street North as part of an ongoing drug trafficking investigation, police said in a release Monday. “A subsequent search as part of the investigation resulted in the seizure of ... suspected cocaine, suspected fentanyl, suspected crack cocaine, one cellular device, one digital scale (and) brass knuckles,” OPP said.
