Dramatic Arrest Nets Drugs And Money

A dramatic arrest of three people by Thunder Bay police has resulted in the seizure of drugs and money.

Police say it started yesterday afternoon around 5:30 in a Heron Street laneway, when they were alerted to a fight between two men, one of them believed to have a loaded gun.

After they took off in a black car, police say they arrested three occupants of the vehicle in the drive-thru of the Tim Hortons on May Street.

Police found Xanax bars, crack cocaine and Canadian money, the total value of roughly $7,000.
