On Nov. 10, 2026, the Fredericton Police Force’s Direct Action Response Team (DART) conducted an enforcement operation in various areas of the city as part of ongoing efforts to address illegal drug activity and public safety concerns.
The operation resulted in 12 arrests, including five related to open-air drug use, and the seizure of suspected fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine. Other enforcement included arrests related to possession for the purpose of trafficking, outstanding warrants, obstruction, suspended driving and a parole revocation. A concealed weapon was also seized.
The latest operation builds on DART’s ongoing targeted enforcement. Including the Nov. 10 operation, DART has recorded 182 arrests, executed 77 warrants, conducted 79 street checks, and seized more than 600 grams of drugs, nine firearms and approximately $7,000 in cash since May 28, 2025.
DART continues to support community safety through proactive, intelligence-led policing focused on repeat offenders, drug trafficking and open-air drug activity, wanted persons, weapons offences and other public-safety concerns.
Community information is an important part of this work. We encourage residents to continue reporting suspicious or illegal activity. These reports help identify areas of concern and inform enforcement efforts.
