The RCMP have yet to lay charges after a series of arrests stemming from a police operation at a home on Pond Shore Road on November 22nd.
The 6am police raid by the RCMP Emergency Response Team blew out the windows of the home at 106 Pond Shore Road, and resulted in seven arrests, according to a previous police statement.
In a news release Wednesday afternoon, about one week after the incident, the RCMP say they were executing a search warrant in connection with a drug trafficking investigation that began on November 15. The statement goes on:
“During the search, police seized, significant quantities of what is believed to be cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, methamphetamine pills, hydromorphone pills, and a large amount of money. Police also seized nine unsafely stored firearms including a prohibited rifle and a restricted handgun. Nearly 55,000 contraband cigarettes, and drug trafficking paraphernalia were also seized.”
Wednesday’s release says just three men were arrested at the scene on November 22. A 39-year-old Sackville man was remanded into custody on outstanding warrants, and is scheduled to appear in court on December 28. The other two men, a 37-year-old from Sackville and a 40-year-old from Nova Scotia, were later released from custody.
The investigation was led by the RCMP’s Provincial Crime Reduction Unit, which focusses on “disrupting and dismantling the trafficking of illegal drugs”. The release says members of the Southeast District also assisted, along with members of RCMP Police Dog Services, and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems pilots.
