30 Oct
Summary
- Fentanyl and methamphetamine were seized by RCMP.
- Drugs were allegedly purchased via the dark web.
- A 52-year-old man was arrested and charged.
RCMP in Nova Scotia has intercepted illicit substances, including fentanyl and methamphetamine, which were reportedly ordered through the dark web. The packages were addressed to a location in Pictou County. As part of an ongoing investigation, officers successfully intercepted these deliveries.
Following the interception, authorities arrested Jason Wesley MacAulay, 52, on Tuesday. A subsequent search of a residence on Walkerville Road yielded over 130 grams of materials that preliminarily tested positive for fentanyl and methamphetamine. These substances are now undergoing further analysis by Health Canada to confirm the results.
MacAulay faces several charges, including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of property obtained by crime, and multiple trafficking offenses under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. He is currently in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on November 9th. This operation highlights efforts to combat drug trafficking originating from illicit online networks.
