The Pictou County Integrated Street Crime Enforcement Unit (PCISCEU) has charged three men with drug trafficking after executing six search warrants around Pictou County. 

On May 26, Pictou County Integrated Street Crime Enforcement Unit, along with teams from a variety of other RCMP units and police agencies, executed five search warrants as part of an ongoing investigation into property crime and drug offences. Locations consisted of two residences in New Glasgow, a business in Plymouth, a storage locker on Westville Rd. and a second storage locker in Abercrombie. As warrants were being executed, investigators learned about another associated storage locker and obtained a sixth search warrant.

As a result of all six search warrant executions, officers seized drugs (cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, various pills) and other items associated to drug trafficking, weapons including a handheld conducted energy weapon (“stun gun”), 40 cartons of unstamped tobacco products, and cash. Officers also recovered several stolen vehicles, including a Kubota skid steer loader, a dirt bike, and several trailers. 

Two people were arrested as the search warrant executions were taking place. A third person was arrested at a later date. 

Matthew Greencorn, 34, from New Glasgow, Travis Greencorn, 30, from New Glasgow, and Michael MacIntyre, 63, from New Glasgow, are each charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (methamphetamine). They are individually facing other charges related to property crimes, weapons offences, and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. All three men were released by police pending future court appearances. 

In order to safely and efficiently conduct this operation, PISCEU as the lead team relied on collaboration with Colchester Community Action Team, Nova Scotia RCMP Police Dog Services, and Street Crime Enforcement Units (SCEU) from Cumberland County, East Hants, Pictou County, and Inverness County. Partnerships with Stellarton Police Department, Westville Police Service and New Glasgow Police were also an integral part of the investigation and search warrant executions. 

“During operations like this, we always keep in mind the large- and small-scale impact of our investigations,” says Cpl. Tony MacKinnon, PCISCEU. “Our overall goal is public safety for the community as a whole, especially when we’re seizing drugs, weapons, and other dangerous items. At the individual level, though, we hope that we can make someone’s day better when we return their stolen items.”

Note: PCISCEU includes officers from Pictou County District RCMP, Stellarton Police Department and Westville Police Service.
