The South Shore Integrated Street Crime Enforcement Unit has arrested two people following an investigation into cocaine trafficking in Lunenburg and Queens counties.
On May 8, at 1:50 p.m., RCMP officers conducted a targeted traffic stop in Hebbville in connection with the ongoing investigation. The occupants of the vehicle, a 30-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man, were safely arrested.
A short time later, officers executed a search warrant at a home on Charles Boliver Rd. in Conquerall Mills. A search of the home and of the vehicle led officers to seize a quantity of cocaine, hydromorphone, cash, ammunition and cell phones.
Both the woman and man will face Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (two counts) charges. They were released on conditions and are scheduled to appear in Bridgewater Provincial Court on August 20.
The Lunenburg District RCMP and Bridgewater Police Service assisted with the ongoing investigation.
