The West District Crime Reduction Unit has arrested four people following the execution of two search warrants at two separate locations as part of an ongoing drug investigation that began in late 2019.
On July 31, 2020, police executed a search warrant at a home on Route 105 in Tobique First Nation, where they seized five firearms, two prohibited weapons, several types of drugs, drug paraphernalia and an undisclosed amount of cash.
A 44-year-old man from Tobique First Nation, a 24-year-old man from Tobique First Nation, a 24-year-old woman from Tobique First Nation and a 23-year-old woman from Plaster Rock were arrested at the scene. All four individuals were released from custody and given an undertaking to appear in Woodstock Provincial Court at a later date.
Later that day, police executed a second search warrant at the Boats Gaming Centre on Route 105 in Tobique Narrows, where they seized several electronic devices.
Members of the Woodstock RCMP, Perth-Andover RCMP, the New Brunswick Emergency Response Team and Fredericton Police Force K-9 Team assisted during the search warrants.
The investigation is continuing.
