Man faces 'host of charges' related to drug trafficking
Police seized drugs, cigarettes, fireworks and cash during a raid on a property in Mermaid last week, according to a news release issued Monday.
The RCMP news release contained photos of the seized items, which led to "a host of charges" against a Mermaid man.
He was due in court to answer to them Monday.
Officers from several RCMP units, the RCMP police dog service and Charlottetown police used a search warrant "relating to drug trafficking" to search the property on Friday.
The news release says they found:
- Thousands of methamphetamine tablets and hydromorphone pills,
- LSD (acid),
- A significant amount of cannabis and cannabis edibles,
- About 500,000 illegal cigarettes, or the equivalent of 2,500 cartons,
- More than 50 boxes of fireworks,
- Two replica firearms, and
- About $15,000 in cash.
RCMP say the investigation continues.
