Three New Brunswick Men Arrested For selling Cannabis From Utility Trailer.
The Cumberland Integrated Street Crime Enforcement Unit (CISCEU) has arrested three New Brunswick men after receiving several complaints regarding the sale of cannabis from a parked utility trailer on Albion St in Amherst.
On August 27, CISCEU executed a search warrant at the trailer and safely arrested three men.
During the search, officers seized illegal cannabis and edibles, a quantity of psilocybin (magic mushrooms), and a quantity of cash.
Two of the men, a 32-year-old and a 29-year-old, both of Fredericton, will face charges under the Cannabis Act related to possession of cannabis for the purpose of distributing and selling. They were released to appear in Amherst Provincial Court at a later date. The third man was released and is not expected to face charges.
The Nova Scotia RCMP reminds residents that the only legal way to purchase cannabis in the province is at licensed locations.
Nova Scotians are encouraged to contact their nearest RCMP detachment or local police to report crime, including the illegal sale of drugs, in their communities. Anonymous tips can be made by calling Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers, toll-free, at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), submitting a secure web tip at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca, or using the P3 Tips app.
