The New Brunswick RCMP say they believe they’ve made the largest seizure of crystal methamphetamine in the province’s history.
On Wednesday, police executed three search warrants in Moncton and the Pine Glen area and seized close to 20 kilograms — or 44 pounds — of what is believed to be crystal methamphetamine.
As well, they seized hydromorphone pills, other various pills, a significant amount of Canadian currency, two prohibited weapons and drug-trafficking paraphernalia.
“This is a significant quantity of harmful drugs that are now off the streets and out of the hands of vulnerable New Brunswickers,” Staff Sgt. Jeff Johnston of the provincial crime reduction unit said in a news release.
