Nottawasaga OPP say the probe started this fall regarding a male trafficking drugs in downtown Alliston.
"Officers observed activity consistent with drug trafficking and obtained a CDSA Search warrant," OPP said in a release today.
Yesterday, officers said they spotted a second male suspect conducting a drug transaction in Tottenham and later arrested him.
The Nottawasaga Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU) then attended a residence on Knight Street in Alliston just before 1 p.m. and executed a search warrant.

- 12 knives
- 5 sword/Axe/Cleavers

OPP say a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck worth roughly $30,000 was also seized as offence-related property.
