RCMP conducting a traffic stop on Highway 2 near Havelock got much more than they bargained for.
A search of the vehicle led to a seizure of approximately 16 pounds of marijuana. Police arrested the driver of the vehicle, 36-year-old Jean-Phillip Dubreil, of Montreal, and he has been charged with trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
He has been remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Moncton Provincial court today (Monday). The drugs are believed to have been destined for various locations in the Maritimes.
