Five arrested in Pictou County drug bust
The RCMP says five Nova Scotians are facing charges after drugs and weapons were seized from a home in Pictou last week.
According to police, the Pictou County Integrated Street Crime Enforcement Unit (PCISCEU), a unit that includes RCMP, Stellarton Police and Westville Police officers, started an investigation into potential drug trafficking from a home on Poplar Street in December.
Authorities then executed a search warrant on Feb. 6 at the home and found cocaine, methamphetamine and a “bladed weapon.”
As a result five people were arrested:
- Emily Jessica Barker, 31, of Masstown
- Amanda Michelle Binder, 23, of Stellarton
- Amanda Leeanne Deyoung, 45, of New Glasgow
- Colin Martin Graham, 34, of Stellarton
- Jarom Elliott Merriam, 40, of Truro
They’ve been charged with drug trafficking and weapon offences and are expected in Pictou Provincial Court in April.
