A 53-year-old Iqaluit resident has been charged after police used a search warrant to enter a Tundra Ridge home and confiscated cocaine, crack cocaine and cash on June 28.
The amount of drugs seized was not specified in an RCMP news release issued on June 30, nor was the value of cash.

McLaughlin has been released from custody and his next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 11 in Iqaluit.
