Two men have been arrested after the seizure of drugs and weapons in the Saint John area.
On Friday, during an ongoing police investigation, RCMP searched a vehicle in the parking lot of a commercial area on Consumers Drive.
They seized drugs that were believed to be cocaine, along with a large sum of money.
A home on Kierstead Road on the Kingston Peninsula was then searched, where police located several items including a firearm, ammunition and an unknown substance.
A 33 year old man from Long Point and a 37 year old man from Saint John were arrested…
They are scheduled to return to court in August.
The Saint John Police Force provided assistance following the arrests, and the Southeast District RCMP assisted in the search.
The investigation was conducted as part of a coordinated law enforcement approach that involves resources from the New Brunswick RCMP, as well as the Woodstock Police Force and Fredericton Police Force. These efforts focus on disrupting and dismantling the trafficking of illegal drugs in our province, targeting those causing the most harm in communities.
