The New Brunswick RCMP have seized firearms and drugs, and arrested a 26-year-old woman following a drug trafficking investigation in Millville, N.B.

On September 8, 2022, at approximately 7:25 a.m., the New Brunswick RCMP Provincial Crime Reduction Unit (PCRU) executed a search warrant at a residence on Highway 104 in Millville, as part of the investigation. During the search, police seized quantities of what is believed to be cocaine, methamphetamine, a number of pills, contraband cigarettes, drug trafficking paraphernalia, and money. Police also seized an unsecured restricted firearm, an unsecured prohibited firearm, as well as unsafely stored ammunition.

A 26-year-old woman from Millville was arrested at the scene. She was later released, and is scheduled to appear in Fredericton Provincial Court on December 6.

This investigation was the result of an operation by the Provincial Crime Reduction Unit, which includes police officers from the New Brunswick RCMP and Fredericton Police Force. Members of Western Valley Region RCMP assisted with the search. These efforts focus on disrupting and dismantling the trafficking of illegal drugs in our province, targeting those causing the most harm in our communities.
