The New Brunswick RCMP arrested four individuals and seized several types of drugs, prohibited weapons and money as part of an ongoing drug-trafficking investigation in Moncton, N.B.

On October 7, 2021, police arrested a 46-year-old woman outside a business on Filles de Jesus Avenue as a part of the ongoing investigation. Subsequent to the arrest, police executed a search warrant at a home on Elmwood Drive in connection with the investigation. During the search, police seized what are believed to be methamphetamine pills, ecstasy pills, hydromorphone pills, oxycodone pills, as well as psilocybin mushrooms, prescription pills, contraband cigarettes and cannabis. Police also seized prohibited weapons, drug paraphernalia and money.

The 46-year-old woman was later released and is scheduled to appear in Moncton Provincial Court on January 20, 2022. Three other individuals were arrested at the scene and later released.

This investigation was the result of an operation by the Provincial Crime Reduction Unit, which includes police officers from the New Brunswick RCMP, Woodstock Police Force and Fredericton Police Force. Members of the Codiac Regional RCMP assisted with the investigation. These efforts focus on disrupting and dismantling the trafficking of illegal drugs in our province, targeting those causing the most harm in our communities.

The public plays an important role in helping to reduce, prevent and solve crime, including the trafficking of illegal drugs. Anyone with information about, or who suspects, illegal drug activity in their neighbourhood is asked to contact their local police. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), by downloading the secure P3 Mobile App, or by Secure Web Tips at www.crimenb.ca.

The investigation is ongoing.
