    RCMP Police Service Dog Thor located various drugs hidden inside the home.

    Two men have been arrested after RCMP West searched a home in Stephenville on Wednesday (January 15th). Officers located quantities of drugs, cash and weapons at a Hillview home. During the search, RCMP Police Service Dog Thor located various drugs hidden inside the home. Police found five ounces of street-level pre-packaged cocaine, a quantity of pills, $6,300 dollars cash, contraband tobacco, weapons (mace, machete and a sword) and an airsoft handgun.

    The two arrested men were released from custody and are each set to appear in court at later dates to face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine and possession for the purpose of trafficking hydromorphone.

    The investigation is continuing with more charges expected.
