Police say their investigation began in September 2017 and resulted in a search warrant being executed at a home in Petit-Cap, N.B., which is about 35 kilometres from Shediac.
RCMP officers searched the home on Route 950 and seized a significant quantity of methamphetamine, cocaine, hydromorphone, oxycodone, cannabis resin, cannabis marijuana, cash, a prohibited knife and other items used to facilitate drug trafficking.
Mario Clement Leblanc, 32, and Sally Cormier, 41, of Petit-Cap have been charged with the following:
- Six counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking methamphetamine, cocaine, cannabis resin, cannabis marijuana, hydromorphone and oxycodone
- Possession of items used to facilitate drug trafficking
- Unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon
- Possession of a weapon while prohibited
LeBlanc and Cormier appeared in Moncton provincial court Monday and remain in custody.
LeBlanc is scheduled to appear in court again Thursday, while Cormier will face a judge on May 15.
