The Joint Enforcement Team executed a search warrant at a residence and storage unit in Charlottetown seizing hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, a large quantity of drugs and illegal cigarettes. 

On Friday, June 12, 2026, the Joint Enforcement Team, a stand-alone policing unit comprised of officers from Summerside Police Services, Kensington Police Services, PEI RCMP and RCMP Eastern Region Federal Policing executed a search warrant in Charlottetown and seized:

• Approximately $300,000 in cash

• 8,650 (about 3.75 kilograms) methamphetamine pills
• 50,600 illegal cigarettes
• 22-calibre handgun, prohibited weapons and ammunition 
• Drug paraphernalia

Cocaine and meth are typical sold in half gram to 1-gram amounts, so a seizure of this size is considered a very significant quantity.
