The Inverness-Richmond Street Crime Enforcement Unit (SCEU) has seized cocaine, crack cocaine and suspected fentanyl, and arrested two people.
Through an ongoing investigation, officers learned that a Port Hawkesbury man was trafficking cocaine in the area.
On November 5, with assistance from the Antigonish SCEU and RCMP Police Dog Services, Inverness-Richmond SCEU officers conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle travelling in Havre Boucher and safely arrested the man and a passenger.
Following the arrest, officers searched the vehicle and its occupants and seized quantities of cocaine, crack cocaine, and suspected fentanyl.
Investigators later executed a search warrant at the man’s residence on Granville St. in Port Hawkesbury and searched a vehicle located on the property. Officers seized quantities of suspected cocaine, suspected fentanyl, and handgun magazines.
Bernard Donald MacIntyre, 38, of Port Hawkesbury, has been charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (cocaine), Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (fentanyl) and Possession of a Prohibited Device (two counts).
MacIntyre was released on conditions and is due in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court on November 17.
A 63-year-old Mackdale woman will also face drug trafficking charges. She was released on conditions and is due in court at a later date.
Nova Scotians are encouraged to report criminal activity, including the illegal sale of drugs, to their local police. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
