Over the last two days, officers assigned to the HRP/RCMP Integrated Guns and Gangs unit executed several search warrants in Halifax. Operation Indict culminated with the arrest of six people and seizure of cocaine, marijuana and a loaded handgun. This five-week long investigation targeted street-level drug trafficking in the Halifax area.
The five men and one woman (see below), who range in age from 21-27, were arrested without incident over the last two days. They have either appeared or are scheduled to appear in Halifax Provincial Court this afternoon to face numerous criminal charges.
Through this operation, HRM Partners in Policing have significantly disrupted the street level drug trade operating in our community. The operation is on-going and additional arrests and charges are anticipated.
