Regional police have seized an estimated $240,000-worth of suspected cocaine as part of an ongoing drug investigation.

It began Thursday when a man and a woman were arrested for drug possession. Police obtained search warrants for two addresses in Kitchener, where about three kilograms of cocaine and several thousand dollars in cash were seized. A vehicle was also seized.

Police say the total value of the seized drugs is almost a quarter of a million dollars, but did not say how much cash or property was seized.

As a result of the investigation, four adults and a young offender were charged with various drug-related offences.
