Ten people are facing a total of 69 charges following a drug bust in the Rainy River District.

Ontario Provincial Police raided a dozen places, including a motel in downtown Fort Frances, in an operation called Project Jules.

They seized over $70,000 in cash and large amounts of cocaine, fentanyl, hydromorphone and crystal meth. OPP estimate the drugs have a street value of just under $500,000.

Police say it was part of a two-month undercover operation in response to several drug overdoses in the Rainy River District.
