An arrest has been made at the Sandy Lake airstrip following a Nishnawbe Aski Police Service investigation into drug trafficking.

On Saturday police received a request for assistance from the Sandy Lake First Nation community airport.

Upon arrival, a person suspected to have drugs in their possession was located.
