HALIFAX -- Four people have been arrested in Canterbury, New Brunswick, as part of an investigation into drug trafficking.

On Friday, N.B. RCMP executed a search warrant at two apartments in a single complex on Main Street – seizing an undisclosed quantity of drugs, drug paraphernalia, two pellet guns and ammunition.

Police arrested two men aged 32 and 40, alongside two women aged 26 and 30 – all from Canterbury. Police say the 26-year-old woman was held in custody on an outstanding warrant; meanwhile, the other three individuals were released pending future court appearances.

Additionally, police say they found four children under the age of 12 in the home. As a result of conditions seen within the home, police conducted an investigation into child negligence, which police say is underway.
