AJAX -- An Ajax resident is facing several charges after Durham Regional Police seized drugs, cash and weapons.
Officers with the Drug Enforcement Unit, assisted by the Tactical Support Unit and officers from Whitby and Oshawa, executed a search warrant at a Hornsell Circle home in north Ajax on Friday, Oct. 3, following complaints from the community.
A male resident was found inside the house and arrested without incident.
