Two Akron, Ohio, residents face charges after a traffic stop at a Celoron home on Thursday.

On Thursday narcotics investigators in Chautauqua County assisted the DEA in an arrest for methamphetamine distribution in Celoron. Investigators from Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office, Jamestown Police Department, Dunkirk Police Department and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration had been investigating methamphetamine drug trafficking from Akron, Ohio, to the Jamestown area for the past three years. Information was received that a large quantity of methamphetamine was being transported to the Jamestown area on Thursday.

Investigators were able to locate the vehicle and patrol officers from Jamestown Police Department and the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle at a residence in Celoron.

A search warrant for the vehicle was obtained by the DEA and resulted in the seizure of more than 2 pounds of methamphetamine.
