Lunenburg County RCMP, members of the Street Crime Unit and General Investigations Unit, executed a search warrant Monday at a business in Chester they say was operating as an illegal Marihuana Shop.
The search took place around 5pm Monday at “Cannabis For Life” on Highway 3.
“Our members became aware of criminal activity that was occurring at this storefront and started an investigation, says S/Sgt. Steve MacQueen, District Commander, Lunenburg District RCMP. “As the investigation unfolded, members confirmed that drug trafficking was occurring at the location. They obtained a warrant and searched the business last night.”
Police seized marihuana, derivatives of marihuana, drug trafficking related paraphernalia and cash.
As a result of their ongoing investigation, a 47-year-old Chester Basin man has been charged with 3 counts of Trafficking in a Controlled Substance and 3 counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance.
The accused, who has not been named, is due to appear in Bridgewater Court May 30th, 2018.
