A 25 year old Fredericton man is in Police custody and is expected to make a court appearance sometime throughout the day (January 15th) on drug related charges and weapons charges.
The Fredericton Police Force’s Drug Crimes Unit was assisted by members of the Force’s Emergency Response Team when they raided a south side residence during the late afternoon of Thursday, January 14th, 2010.
During the execution of a search warrant, substantial quantities of cocaine, hashish, ecstasy, LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) and marijuana was seized.
