The five were arrested a short time later and 52 hydromorphone pills were seized. Police estimate the value of the pills at over $1,000.
William Renaud, 46, from Chatham faces one count of trafficking and is being held in custody. Candice Ashburn, 36, from St. Thomas is facing two counts of trafficking and one count of breach of probation.
Three others, a 20-year-old man, a 26-year-old man and a 19-year-old girl from Port Stanley face possession charges and have been released with a future court date.
