A woman and a man have been arrested following a drug trafficking investigation led by the RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment (HRD) Street Crime Enforcement Unit (SCEU).
In September, RCMP HRD SCEU began a drug trafficking investigation after receiving information that a woman was selling cocaine believed to be laced with fentanyl. Through the investigation, officers learned that the woman appeared to be working in partnership with a man.
On October 9, RCMP HRD SCEU officers arrested a 25-year-old Lower Sackville man after observing what was believed to be a drug transaction inside a vehicle in a parking lot on Cobequid Rd. A search of the man resulted in the seizure of cash, while a search of the buyer led to the seizure of drugs.
At approximately 7 p.m., officers executed a search warrant at an apartment in the 0-100 block of Cobequid Rd. During the search, officers seized suspected cocaine, unknown pills, cell phones, and a BMW believed to have been used in drug trafficking activities.
A 61-year-old Lower Sackville woman was arrested for possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking.
The woman and the man were later released and are scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.
