A 26-year-old London man has been charged after police seized 158 grams of pressed cocaine.

Officers executed a search warrant on Wednesday at a residence on Ranchwood Crescent in the city's northwest corner.

Police seized the drugs worth $15,800, contaminated scales, cocaine packaging, and a large cardboard container filled with 5 kg of a white substance thought to be used as a cutting agent.

The suspect faces four counts of breach of recognizance, one count of driving while disqualified and a single count of possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking.
