Provincial police say a seven-month-long undercover investigation in northeastern Ontario has led to a total of 250 drug charges against 45 people.

Cocaine, crystal meth, marijuana, cannabis resin and morphine were seized in raids Wednesday, along with $12,500 in cash and two vehicles.

Police say eight search warrants were executed in the Kirkland Lake area and one in LaSarre, Que.

Those charged range in age from 17 to 62 and most are Kirkland Lake residents, although three of those charged are from Timmins, McGarry Township and LaSarre.

Charges include possession of a controlled substance, trafficking, commission of an offence for a criminal organization and possession of property obtained by crime.
