RCMP say police in New Brunswick have been working with authorities in Quebec since 2010 to investigate groups with alleged connections to the outlaw biker gang.

As part of the probe in New Brunswick, the Mounties also say they arrested a 46-year-old man last weekend in Landry Office, though he was later released.

Police have seized what they call large amounts of cocaine, marijuana, pills and cash during the course of the investigation.
