December 23, 2021
A Watford man is one of three people facing charges after a four month drug probe in Strathroy.
Officials say Strathroy-Caradoc Police and the RCMP have been working together to combat the increasing issue of drug trafficking in that community. Dec. 21, police executed a search warrant in Strathroy-Caradoc and seized about $55,000 in drugs including cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, cannabis and psilocybin. Police also seized $5,700 in cash.
Bryan Ferguson, 48, of Watford is facing three charges including possession of methamphetamine.
Riley Pavey, 26, and Kendra Perriam, 31, both of Strathroy, face multiple drug trafficking and possession charges and possession of stolen property.
The three will be in a London court in January.
