THUNDER BAY – The ongoing efforts to combat illegal drugs and drug trafficking in Thunder Bay continues. At about 3:00 AM EDT this morning, Thunder Bay Police Service officers were in downtown Fort William on patrol.

They observed a group of five people in the backlane in the 100 block of May Street South and saw what officers thought was a man tossing away what appeared to be a bag of crack cocaine.

Further investigation revealed a male was in possession of a quantity of crack cocaine, Canadian currency, and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking.

During their investigation, a female who was with the original group of five fled, but was arrested a short time later after a brief foot pursuit and struggle.
