Disturbance at Oshawa seniors’ residence leads to drug trafficking charges

An ‘unwanted person’ call at an Oshawa seniors’ residence Thursday evening resulted in four people charged with drug trafficking, with all four now in jail awaiting a bail hearing.

Durham Police responded to a disturbance at the 25 John Street apartments in downtown Oshawa just after 7 p.m. involving two women and two men – with one man already banned from the premises – and discovered a large quantity of methamphetamine and Canadian currency.

All four into custody without further incident.

50-year-old Jamison Ramesar of Oshawa had been barred from the building and was charged with prohibited entry, in addition to possession and trafficking charges.

The other three – Sarah Spencer, 39, George Lund, 64, and Allison Lemyre, 46 – were all charged with possession and trafficking in methamphetamine. All four reside in Oshawa.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Det. Baumgartner of Central East Criminal Investigations Branch at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2703.
