RCMP in Lunenburg County say they've "dismantled a main supply of illicit drugs" after making a series of arrests as part of a 10-month drug trafficking investigation.

Fourteen people face a total of 48 charges in connection with Operation Hamlin.

On Wednesday about 100 police officers arrested 10 people and searched eight homes. Police say they seized powder and crack cocaine, prescription pills, marijuana, growing equipment, cash and firearms.

Three people were arrested last week as part of the operation and police are still searching for another.

Supt. Sylvie Bourassa-Muise says the investigation uncovered a drug trafficking link between the county and Halifax.

The investigation involved police from a number of agencies.

Some of the accused are expected in Halifax provincial court while the bulk will appear in Bridgewater court today.

Police say they expect to make more arrests and lay more charges.
