HAMILTON — Hamilton police say three people have been arrested in an investigation involving the seizure of illegal drugs and weapons, and the discovery of an illegal dog breeding operation.
Police say they received information last month that a business on King Street East was allegedly involved in the illegal sale of cannabis and other substances.
A search warrant led to the seizure of drugs including cocaine and meth, and police say officers also found 10 dogs believed to be part of illegal breeding.
Police say Hamilton Animal Services took custody of eight puppies and two adult dogs.
Investigators also say they found two laboratories believed to be used in the production of crack cocaine.
The three accused are facing multiple charges, including possession for the purpose of trafficking and possessing a prohibited weapon.
