Middlesex County OPP say three people face a slew of charges after police discovered a meth lab, prohibited firearms and counterfeit money in St. Thomas.
While patrolling on April 18, police say officers stopped a vehicle in the area of Wellington Road and Highway 401 in London. A driver and passenger were arrested without incident.
With the assistance of the Elgin Middlesex Community Street Crime Unit, a warrant was obtained to search an address on Forest Avenue in St. Thomas.
Following the investigation, OPP say a 27-year-old man and two women aged 41 and 45 all of St. Thomas, face a total of 38 weapons, trafficking, and driving charges.
The accused male faces 20 charges including unauthorized possession of a restricted firearm, possession of a schedule I substance for trafficking, making counterfeit money and operating a motor vehicle without insurance.
A 41-year-old woman faces a total of 16 similar charges including driving while suspended, operating a vehicle with an improper muffler, and driving a vehicle with open alcohol. The 45-year-old woman only faces two charges of possession of anything used in the production and trafficking of a schedule I or schedule III substance and possession of methamphetamine.
All three are scheduled to appear in a London courtroom at a later date.
