A man faces charges after two drug searches yesterday in Halifax.
At approximately 10 a.m., officers assigned to the HRP/RCMP Integrated Drug Unit, assisted by officers from the Central Quick Response Unit, conducted a search of a residence in the 6200 block of North Street. One man was arrested without incident at the scene and the subsequent search resulted in officers seizing marijuana, cash and drug paraphernalia.
