Arrests in connection with a drug trafficking investigation on Gordon Street in Moncton.

After the arrests, a search of the vehicle and individuals was done, and RCMP seized quantities of what is believed to be fentanyl, crystal methamphetamine, prescription pills, drug trafficking paraphernalia, and money.

A 32-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman were later released, and are scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

On October 20, the 47-year-old man appeared in Moncton Provincial Court and was charged with:

Trafficking fentanyl

Possession for the purpose of trafficking a controlled substance

He was released on conditions and is scheduled to return to court on December 1.
