6 arrests, multiple charges laid in Nova Scotia drug trafficking investigations

Drug trafficking investigations have resulted in multiple charges for several people in Nova Scotia.

According to the RCMP, police executed four search warrants between Feb. 26 and 28 as part of ongoing drug trafficking cases.

“Whether it’s to address trafficking in illicit drugs and substances or the illegal sale of cannabis, we’re committed to enforcement that helps make our communities safer,” Supt. Jason Popik, District Policing Officer, Southwest Nova District RCMP, said in a press release.

On Feb. 26, police used their first warrant at a home on Highway 1 in Salmon River, just east of Truro, where officers seized pre-filled syringes containing suspected fentanyl and two firearms.

Two men, Jordan Louis Comeau, 26, and Kim Louis Comeau, were safely arrested at the scene. They face multiple charges, including possession for the purpose of trafficking, as well as weapons offences.

The next day, police executed two search warrants at two apartments in Digby, using police dogs, where they seized crack cocaine and cash.

Roy Charles McCullough, 51, and Brian Kelly Height, both of Digby, and Xander Jordan, 25, of Falmouth were arrested at the apartments and face numerous charges, including possession for the purpose of trafficking and failure to comply with an order.

Finally, on Feb. 28, a man and a woman were arrested and charged in South Rawdon, a small town north of Halifax, after police seized about three kilograms of cocaine, methamphetamine, dried cannabis and an imitation gun, among other items.

Melissa Sharon Millett, 40, of South Rawdon, and Marshall Garwin Burgess, 32, of Lower Burlington, are facing multiple drug trafficking charges.

Police say all of the accused have been released pending upcoming court appearances.
