Two women and a man face charges after a drug search last Friday in Halifax.

Shortly after 2 p.m., officers assigned to the HRP/RCMP Integrated Drug Unit executed a search warrant at a residence in the 2400 block of Creighton Street. Officers seized a quantity of hydro morphine, cash and drug paraphernalia. Two women and a man were arrested at the scene without incident.

 

An 81-year-old man, a 27-year-old woman and a 26-year-old woman, all from Halifax, are each charged with one count of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking. They were released from custody and will appear in Halifax Provincial Court at a later date.
