Police arrested two men Tuesday night outside a Charlottetown hotel after seizing drugs with a street value of about $90,000.
Charlottetown Police Services Deputy Chief Gary McGuigan says the drugs - some seized from a vehicle and others from inside the hotel -- include cocaine, prescription drugs and marijuana.
Police also gathered up more than $20,000 in cash.
McGuigan noted it was a bit unusual that no weapons were seized considering the size of the drug bust.
Nelson Darby, 41, of Longueuil, Que. faces two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and four counts of trafficking. Darby had been staying at the hotel where some of the drugs were seized.
Kreighton Carlyle Larkin, 24, of Charlottetown faces three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.
McGuigan says police expect to lay further charges against at least three other individuals.
The drug bust, which took place about 8 p.m., is part of the Charlottetown Police street crime unit's ongoing investigation into interprovincial drug trafficking in the capital city.
Police feel that this bust will have a significant short-term impact on the drug trade in Charlottetown.
Close to $500,000 in illicit drugs was seized by the Charlottetown Police Services last year.
McGuigan says Tuesday's bust of about $110,000 in drugs and cash is a strong start to putting a dent in the drug trade in 2012.
"We pat our street crime unit on the back,'' he said.
"It's the work that they are doing that is producing these results.''
