The New Brunswick RCMP seized 17 unsecured long guns and a large amount of money at a residence in Tobique First Nation, N.B.
On the evening of February 26, 2021, police executed a search warrant at a home on Fourth Street as part of an ongoing investigation. An extensive search of the property resulted in the discovery of long guns hidden in a wall. A large amount of cash was also found.
A 68-year-old man was arrested at the residence. He was later released pending a future court appearance in April in Woodstock Provincial Court.
The investigation was conducted as part of a coordinated law enforcement approach with West District RCMP and RCMP Police Dog Services and involvement from the Woodstock Police Force and Fredericton Police Force.
