During the course of the investigation, police seized 10 grams of cocaine and a cellphone.

Price tag switch at Canadian Tire
Meanwhile, a 20-year-old Summerside man and a 19-year-old Georgetown, Ont., man face fraud charges following an alleged incident at a Summerside store on Wednesday.
Summerside police laid those charges.
It is alleged that the two men entered Canadian Tire and tried to purchase merchandise after they had changed price tags on the items.
The price on one item was allegedly changed from $150 to $17.93 and on a second item from $69 to $9.93.
The two men, whom police did not name, were released and will appear in Summerside provincial court at a later date.
as someone who's been there and done that (7 years clean), thank-you. 10 grams being personal is personal opinion. 10 grams being for the purpose of trafficking is the law. I bet DM TOM, and Derp didn't consider that it could have been individually bagged in separate grams which would also indicate purpose of trafficking.
