BURLINGTON, ON  June 6, 2013.  The drug dealers are keeping the police busy enough.  Earlier today  members of the Three District Strategic Support Team concluded an investigation into alleged cocaine traffickers in Burlington. 

Investigators conducted the investigation and as a result, the  Team arrested two targeted persons.  Both were found to be in possession of a quantity of marihuana and cocaine. 

The investigation was concluded when the Strategic Support Team members executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant at a residence in Burlington. 

As a result of the arrests and drug warrant, investigators seized the following items:

•  43 grams of cocaine

• 7.5 grams of marihuana

• Approximately $ 640.00 in Canadian currency

• Scales, Packaging materials and cellular phones

ACCUSED(s):

 Lilit ISHAK (20 years old)

Dealing in drugs is a lucrative business – which helps to pay the lawyers you need.  Gotta be a better way of making a living.  But I guess as long as there are people who want to buy and use the stuff there are going to be people who will supply it.
