A 65-year-old man from Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska, N.B., has been charged following a prohibited-weapons investigation in the community.
In November 2025, members of the New Brunswick RCMP Provincial Crime Reduction Unit, in partnership with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), began an investigation into prohibited weapons being sent to a residence in Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska.
On November 26, 2025, the New Brunswick RCMP Provincial Crime Reduction Unit, along with members of the West District Crime Reduction Unit, the Saint-Leonard RCMP detachment, the RCMP Federal policing Eastern Region, Police Dog Services, and the RCMP Emergency Response Team, executed a search warrant at a property on Saint-Pierre Street in Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska as part of the investigation.
During the search, police seized several prohibited weapons. A 65-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman, both from Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska, were arrested at the scene without incident. The 40-year-old woman was later released from custody.
On November 27, 2025, 65-year-old Emery “Pit” Martin appeared in Edmundston Provincial Court and was charged with six counts of possession of a prohibited weapon contrary to the conditions of his release.
He was remanded into custody and is scheduled to return to court on December 1, 2025.
The RCMP and CBSA work closely to ensure the safety and security of Canada's border through cooperative law enforcement.
