Tomahawk police crack down on drug use

TOMAHAWK - Drug addicts often have to find ways to pay for drugs habits, which can lead to thefts and other issues. Drug use is part of an ongoing problem in the Tomahawk community.

The city of Tomahawk saw a rise in drug seizures last year. According to an annual report, the Tomahawk Police Department took in over 120,000 dollars' worth of illegal drugs in 2014 alone. That's up from previous years.

"That's a fairly significant amount," says Detective John DuPlayee. "I mean that's certainly larger than anything we've ever had here before."
