A drug bust this week by officers with the RCMP’s Federal Investigative Unit based in Charlottetown.
That RCMP unit, with assistance from New Brunswick RCMP units, seized over 50 pounds of methamphetamine and three firearms in a traffic stop on Tuesday near Richibucto.
The drugs were packaged for wide spread distribution and are believed to have been destined for distribution within the Atlantic Provinces.
A man and a woman, both from Moncton, were arrested and will be facing drug related charges.
