An oddly parked vehicle at the Wellington Plaza in Barrie on Tuesday night sparked the interest of police.

"As they approached the car, they observed a male and female occupying the front seats, four dogs in the back seat and evidence that suggested that the adult occupants  were parked where they were for the sole purpose of using illegal narcotics," police said in a news release on Wednesday.

A 34-year-old Everett man and a 31-year-old female from Cookstown were arrested.

From there, police launched into a drug investigation.

In the vehicle, police allege they seized cocaine, methamphetamine, molly, acid, oxycodone, a large amount of Canadian currency, three airsoft firearms and evidence to support the drugs were being trafficked.

The suspects were charged with the following:

  • Possession of a schedule I substance – cocaine
  • Possession for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine
  • Possession for the purpose of trafficking – methamphetamine
  • Possession of a schedule I substance – methamphetamine
  • Possession for the purpose of trafficking – methylenedioxyamphetamine (Molly)
  • Possession of a schedule I substance – methylenedioxyamphetamine (Molly)
  • Possession for the purpose of trafficking – Oxycodone
  • Possession of a schedule I substance – Oxycodone
  • Possession for the purpose of trafficking – acid
  • Possession of a schedule I substance – acid.

The female was later released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court in October. The male was also charged with failing to comply with an undertaking and was held in custody for a bail hearing on Wednesday.
