Two women and a man have been arrested following the execution of two related search warrants in Miramichi and Lower Newcastle.
On March 18, 2018, the Northeast District Crime Reduction Unit along with members from the Miramichi Police Force, executed a drug search warrant at a home on Kierstead Drive in Miramichi and second on Feron Street in Lower Newcastle. Police seized quantities of what are believed to be prescription pills, methamphetamine tablets and crystal meth. Firearms, drug paraphernalia and an undisclosed amount of cash were also seized.
A 38-year-old man and 36-year-old woman from Miramichi were arrested at the home on Kierstead Drive. A 34-year-old woman was arrested at the home on Feron Street. All three were released by the RCMP on a promise to appear in court at a later date, however the man was held by the Miramichi Police Force pending a court appearance on an unrelated matter.
The investigation is ongoing.
