Two Toronto area residents facing charges following suspected home takeover

Two men from southern Ontario are facing charges after a police response to a suspected home takeover.

Officers were sent to a home on James Street North around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday after receiving a report of a suspected takeover for drug trafficking.

When they arrived they found the men trying to hide inside.

Both were arrested.

A search of the home revealed items associated with drug trafficking and more than $10,000 cash.

As a result, a 22-year-old from East York and a 19-year-old from Scarborough have been charged with unlawfully being in a dwelling and possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.

The accused appeared in court on Friday.

The Scarborough resident has been released with a future court date.

The East York resident remains in custody with a future court date.
