May 5, 2026, Members of the Prince District Joint Forces Operation (JFO), Summerside Police, Provincial Joint Enforcement Team (JET), and RCMP Police Dog Service, conducted a targeted vehicle stop in Summerside. The stop was followed by the execution of a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) search warrant at a residence on Jennifer Street.
During the vehicle stop, police arrested a 35‑year‑old Summerside man and a 67‑year‑old man from the Bedeque area for possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. The Bedeque‑area man was also arrested on outstanding charges by East Prince RCMP.
Police subsequently executed a CDSA search warrant at a residence on Jennifer Street in Summerside, where a 33‑year‑old Summerside woman was arrested for possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
As a result of the investigation, police seized pills, approximately 85 grams of cocaine, money, and drug paraphernalia. Cocaine is often sold by the gram or half gram.
