RCMP , St. John's , Gander
The Gander RCMP drug section arrested a 26 year-old man and 22 year-old woman from St. John's Sunday for possession of a controlled substance for the purposes of trafficking.
Police say the pair had a half-pound of cocaine and a quantity of ecstasy. The drugs were seized by the RCMP as well as a significant amount of cash.
The ecstasy was in the form of a popular kids’ candy, which police say tricks those who take it into thinking it’s harmless.
A prohibited weapon was also found during the search.
