Police executed a search warrant at a Toronto condominium on July 8 that investigators allege was being used to store and prepare cocaine for distribution.

Two men were arrested inside the home, while a third man was arrested nearby, RCMP said.


Investigators also executed search warrants at several locations in Hamilton, where they seized about $165,000 in cash and jewelry believed to be proceeds of crime.

A 39-year-old and a 38-year-old, both from Hamilton, and a 41-year-old from Brantford have each been charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
