The New Brunswick RCMP say three people have been arrested on Grand Manan.
A 41-year-old man, a 48-year-old man both from Grand Manan, and a 41-year-old woman from Nova Scotia were arrested during a traffic stop on the island, according to police.
“On March 12 at approximately 9 p.m., members of the Grand Manan conducted a traffic stop on a suspicious vehicle travelling on Route 776,” the release said.
“Subsequently, police searched the vehicle and found what is believed to be cocaine, as well as a digital scale, packaging materials and a cell phone.”
RCMP said the three individuals were later released and are expected to appear in court at a later date.
“The New Brunswick RCMP is committed to reducing the supply of controlled substances in our communities and to deterring persons from engaging in drug trafficking through ongoing enforcement efforts,” police said in the release.
RCMP said anyone with information about, or who suspects, illegal drug activity in their neighbourhood is asked to contact their local police.
