Two Chatham women are facing drug trafficking charges.

On Aug. 1, the Chatham-Kent police executed a search warrant at a residence on Wellington Street West.

Officers found suspected fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine with a total street value worth over $6,000. 

Police say $680 in Canadian currency and drug paraphernalia were also seized. 

A 31-year-old and 36-year-old were charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. 

The 36-year-old was also charged with one count of failure to comply with a release order.

The 31-year-old was released with conditions and a future court date, and the 36-year-old was held for a bail hearing and later remanded into custody pending a future court date.
