CRACK COCAINE AND METHAMPHETAMINE SEIZED IN CARLETON PLACE

One Person Arrested And Charged

(CARLETON PLACE, ON) - A search warrant in Carleton Place has resulted in the seizure of illegal drugs and one arrest.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) East Region Community Street Crime Unit began an investigation earlier this summer into alleged trafficking of cocaine in the area.

This investigation resulted in the execution of a search warrant on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at a residence on Townline Road East. The search, by members of the Community Street Crime Unit, the Lanark County Detachment and OPP Canine Unit, located nearly seven grams of suspected crack cocaine and a number of suspected methamphetamine pills, as well as items typically associated with drug trafficking.

Laura THOMPSON, age 56 of Lanark Highlands has been charged with two counts of possession of a Schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking.

The accused was released following a bail hearing and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth on September 29, 2025.
