RCMP in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley arrested two people earlier this month for drug and weapon charges.
An investigation on Feb. 8 led RCMP and members of the Kentville Police Service to a home on Glasgow Avenue. According to a news release from the RCMP, officers arrested a woman at the home and seized an electric taser.
A short time later, another man and woman were arrested during a traffic stop. Police say officers seized:
- cocaine
- hydromorphone
- scales
- cash
- cellphones
Stephen George, 34, from Greenwood and Lytora MacArthur, 30, from Kingston have been charged with:
- two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking
- unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon
- possession of prohibited weapon knowing its possession is unauthorized
- possession of property obtained by crime
Both accused were released on conditions and are scheduled to appear in Kentville provincial court on April 17 at 9:30 a.m.
The woman arrested at the home was later released without charges.
