Three smoke shops in Oneida County were searched for illegal cannabis sales and possession.

MIRAMICHI - Two people from Kent County have been arrested, and quantities of several substances were seized, as well as cash and a loaded firearm, during a recent drug bust in the city. The Miramichi Police Force issued a news release on Tuesday saying Jeremie Cormier of Saint-Norbert and Julie Surette of Cocagne appeared in provincial court on March 27 and were charged with possessing cocaine for trafficking purposes. Surette was released on conditions and with a future court date. Cormier was held in custody and scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday for a bail hearing. Police said the bust was part of an ongoing investigation led by the Miramichi Integrated Enforcement Unit (IEU) into cocaine and meth trafficking in the city and surrounding areas. “Our IEU has been doing significant work, both in Miramichi and assisting other IEUs around the province,” Miramichi Police Force Chief Brian Cummings said in the release. “This is just another example of the outstanding work being done to combat drug issues in the province. “Drug dealers should know by now that, if they want to ply their trade in Miramichi, the IEU will be looking them up.”

Investigators believe Christopher Jordan was regularly importing marijuana flower and THC concentrates from Pennsylvania and Colorado.

The cultivation, which police say has an estimated value of about £587,250, was found in Peterhead.

Two further drug seizures at the Cargo Center confirm the increase in criminal trafficking passing through Luxembourg and the reshaping of European drug trafficking routes. In the space of a few days, nearly 88 kilograms of cocaine and over 123 kilograms of cannabis were seized, illustrating Findel’s growing role as a transit point in transnational supply chains.
