FREDERICTON – RCMP in New Brunswick say they have dismantled a sophisticated laboratory set up to produce the illegal synthetic drug known as ecstasy.

Three men and one woman, all of them from Quebec, were arrested after police executed search warrants in Quebec and New Brunswick.

RCMP, working with Quebec provincial police and the Edmundston Police Force, searched five properties in Quebec and one in New Brunswick, where they seized documents, equipment and chemicals.

Police say they also found two labs, one in Quebec and the other in a residence in Lac Baker, N.B.

Police say both labs were shut down and dismantled before any drugs could be distributed.
