RCMP officers in Nova Scotia seized cannabis from an illegal storefront in Middle Sackville for the second time in a week and the third time since last November.  

On November 27, RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment, assisted by officers from RCMP Southeast Traffic Services, executed a search warrant at what they say was an illegal cannabis storefront operating on Sackville Dr., near Stanley St. 

A 40-year-old Dartmouth man was arrested at the scene.

Police say that during the search, officers seized cash, electronic mobile devices, unstamped tobacco, illegal cannabis, hashish, and vape products. The location is near a community centre and public school.

Lower Sackville is located about a half hour’s drive from Halifax.

RCMP officers also previously executed a search warrant at the same storefront on November 20. During that search, investigators seized illegal cannabis and arrested a 53-year-old Halifax man.

Both men were released on conditions and will appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court to face charges of Possession for the Purpose of Distributing and Possession for the Purpose of Selling under the Cannabis Act.

The investigations remain ongoing.
