Late week arrests have left three members of Sioux Lookout facing charges.

OPP in the Northern Ontario community executed search warrants on three different properties on Nov. 14 as part of a drug investigation.

Officers from the Sioux Lookout detachment, as well as the Northwest Region Crime Unit and Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau seized illicit drugs and cash which was believed to be from the sale of drugs.

As a result, a 35-year-old Sioux Lookout man has been charged with possession of a controlled substance.

The two men will appear in court early next year.

Also, a 33-year-old Sioux Lookout man has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime and possession of a controlled substance for purposes of trafficking.

Meanwhile, police on Friday arrested a man for a sexual assault charge.

Officers on patrol observed the female being harassed and upon investigation it was discovered she had been inappropriately touched by the man.

The 70-year-old Sioux Lookout man has been charged with one count of sexual assault and will appear in bail court on Monday.
