Two people from Quebec are facing multiple charges after Northumberland OPP responded to reports of suspicious drone activity near Warkworth Institution.
According to information released by the OPP, officers responded to the area on May 17th after receiving reports involving a drone near the correctional facility.
Police located two individuals in the area.
As part of the investigation, officers seized;
a drone
cell phones
approximately 650 grams of suspected drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, and cannabis.
The two individuals, both from Quebec, have been charged with multiple offences.
According to reports we have received from our readers, the names of the accused and the charges are:
Andrew MacDonald-Ely, age 31, of Gatineau, Quebec, has been charged with:
mischief for allegedly obstructing, interrupting, or interfering with the lawful use, enjoyment, or operation of property.
He is also charged with possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking and delivering contraband to, or receiving contraband from, an inmate.
Abir Mohammed Khan, age 27, of Montreal, Quebec, is also facing the same charges.

The OPP says it works closely with Correctional Service Canada to help maintain the safety and security of correctional institutions and surrounding communities. That partnership includes efforts to prevent contraband from entering facilities, investigate incidents when they occur, and enforce applicable laws.
Police say the trafficking of illicit substances and other contraband can create serious safety risks for correctional staff, inmates, and the public.
The investigation involved Northumberland OPP, Correctional Service Canada, the Municipality of Brighton, and Northumberland County.
Both accused were held for bail.
