N.B. government closes property for 90 days after search for illegal drug activity
The Government of New Brunswick has closed a property in Upper Sackville, N.B., following an investigation into illegal drug activity.
In a news release from the province, it says an application was submitted to close the property located at 2039 Upper Aboujagane Rd. for 90 days. The order, which has been granted, requires all persons to vacate the property for the period prescribed in the order.
Peace officers with the Department of Justice and Public Safety, along with the Safer Communities Program, investigated the property and allege that it was being used for illegal drug activity, "which was having an adverse effect on the community."
