A joint operation between the New Brunswick RCMP and Fredericton Police Force has led to the seizure of a firearm, various types of drugs, and chemicals believe...d to be used in the production of crystal methamphetamine. On April 22, 2021, members of both forces executed a search warrant at a residence on Davis Street in Fredericton, N.B. The residence was unoccupied at the time.

The investigation was conducted as part of coordinated law enforcement efforts, focusing on disrupting and dismantling the trafficking of illegal drugs in our province, targeting those causing the most harm in our communities. The public plays an important role in helping to reduce, prevent and solve crime, including the trafficking of illegal drugs. Anyone with information about, or who suspects, illegal drug activity in their neighbourhood is asked to contact their local police.
