Three members of the Codiac Regional RCMP have been charged with obstruction of justice.
The charges were laid against Cpl. Mathieu Potvin, Cst. Eric Pichette and Cst. Graham Bourque in Moncton Provincial Court on December 28, 2020. The charges stem from an investigation into the members' alleged actions during a 2019 police operation.
All three were served summons on January 5 to appear in Moncton Provincial Court on March 15, 2021.
The members were suspended with pay as of December 15, 2020 pending the outcome of the legal process. A separate Code of Conduct investigation is also being conducted by the RCMP Professional Standards Unit.
