Three individuals are each facing charges of possession of cocaine and oxycodone for the purpose of trafficking, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence as a result of a drug trafficking investigation by Burin Peninsula RCMP and General Investigation Section.
As part of the investigation, police conducted a traffic stop near the community of Jean de Baie that resulted in the arrest of the three occupants in the vehicle. A search of the vehicle located a significant quantity of oxycodone and cocaine which were destined for sale in the Burin Peninsula area.
Charges have been laid against:
- Graham Tobin, 28 years old, of St. Lawrence, NL
- Colin Lake, 24 years old, of St. Lawrence, NL
- Kaylynn Piercey, 20 years old, from Fortune, NL
All three appeared in court yesterday and were released under conditions. They will appear in court again at a later date.
