A large quantity of pills and pot have been taken off the street in Essa Township. It started January 31st with an OPP traffic stop on Mill Street in Essa. Officers arrested a 61 year old man for trafficking his own oxycontin prescription – his pills were seized along with some cash. Police then searched the man’s home where they found more pills and made more arrests – a 66 year old woman and a 22 year old man who was wanted on an outstanding Barrie City Police warrant. OPP went on to search another residence yesterday, also in Essa Township, and seized more pills along with some marijuana. A 29 year old man and a 24 year old woman were arrested there.
