Two people have been arrested following a Hamilton police bust that seized $1 million worth of cocaine.



Hamilton police say they seized guns, one kilogram of cocaine, a digital scale, and an undisclosed amount of oxycodone from a residence at Magnolia Drive and Mohawk Road West on Thursday.

They also seized proceeds of crime worth approximately $50,000.

A 46-year-old Hamilton man and 30-year-old Burlington woman have been arrested and charged with drug trafficking.

Police say they began investigating alleged drug trafficking by the man this summer. They say investigators saw him regularly visit the residence where the drugs were found.

The man was arrested in a traffic stop on Wednesday. Police say they found about 10 kilograms of cocaine — a street value of $1,000,000. The man faces two counts of trafficking cocaine, one count of trafficking oxycodone, and five counts of careless storage of a firearm. He also faces charges of possession of proceeds of crime over and under $5,000.

Police say they received a warrant to search the residence and arrested the woman there on Thursday. She faces charges of trafficking cocaine and oxycodone, and possession of proceeds of crime over and under $5,000.

The pair appeared in court Thursday.
