CMP Announce Results of Three-Month Investigation into Trafficking of Cocaine and Marihuana

From RCMP:
Monday, September 13, 2010, Halifax, Nova Scotia…A three month long investigation conducted by the RCMP Federal Drug Section in Halifax resulted in four arrests and searches of residences within Central Halifax this weekend, in connection with a number of significant drug traffickers involved in trafficking in cocaine and marihuana.

 
The RCMP Federal Drug Section in Halifax led this three-month long undercover operation into the drug trafficking activities of significant drug traffickers operating within Central Halifax. As a result, a total of seven individuals will be facing numerous charges, including Trafficking in Cocaine and Marihuana, Possession of Proceeds of Crime and Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking in Cocaine and Marihuana. During the course of the investigation, over $100,000 in cash, 1757 grams of cocaine, approximately 77 lbs. of marihuana, a small amount of steroids and four vehicles were seized.
 
This investigation is continuing and further arrests and charges are anticipated.
 
Superintendent Brian Brennan, Federal Policing Officer for Nova Scotia says, “Through intelligence, we were able to target individuals that played significant roles in the drug distribution network in Central Nova Scotia. We believe we have disrupted the capacity of these traffickers and have made an impact on drug trafficking which ultimately means less illegal drugs are available on our streets and in our communities.”
 
The individuals arrested will appear in Halifax and Dartmouth Provincial Court on Monday, September, 13 at 10:00a.m.
