Two men are facing drug trafficking charges following a traffic stop at an OPP RIDE checkpoint in Quinte West.
Police say officers were conducting an impaired driving initiative at County Road 40 and Highway 2 shortly after 1 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, when a vehicle entered the checkpoint.
A subsequent search uncovered approximately 112 grams of suspected crack cocaine, 55 grams of suspected methamphetamine, more than $2,400 in cash, drug packaging materials and a cellphone.
Anthony Djetouand, 19, of Quebec, and George Harrison, 62, of Colborne, have each been charged with two counts of possession of a Schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime under $5,000.
Both were held in custody pending bail hearings in Belleville.
