Two Parkhill men face charges after the Ontario Provincial Police swooped down on multiple addresses in Parkhill.

Police from the OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit, Emergency Response Team, the K-9 Unit, and Community Street Crime Units from five different OPP detachments executed four search warrants simultaneously on Emily Street in Parkhill Wednesday morning.

The investigation is ongoing.

A 25-year-old man from Parkhill is charged with break-and-enter, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, and possession of an opioid, a schedule I substance.

He was released from police custody with a date to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice.

A second Parkhill man, who is 27, faces three counts of break-and-enter, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, possession of a schedule I substance, and failure to comply with a release order.

That suspect is being held in custody for a bail hearing.
