An early morning traffic stop conducted by Grand Falls-Windsor RCMP has led to the arrests of 37-year-old Adam Waterman and 38-year-old Chiara Sweeney. Drugs and stolen property were located and seized from inside the vehicle.
Shortly before 2:00 a.m. today, police on patrol stopped a vehicle on High Street in Grand Falls-Windsor. Officers observed drugs inside the vehicle and arrested both occupants. From inside the vehicle, police seized quantities of suspected cocaine and drug paraphernalia, as well as a number of items believed to be stolen.
Following the traffic stop, officers linked the suspected stolen property to a break and enter that had not yet been discovered at an automotive business in the community. Surveillance footage confirmed that the break and enter had occurred shortly after midnight. Footage from inside the business showed two suspects inside matching Waterman and Sweeney.
The pair attend court today, each charged with the following criminal offences:
- Possession of a controlled substance
- Break and enter
- Possession of stolen property
- Possession break and enter tools
The investigation is continuing.
