Three men have been arrested in a drug trafficking investigation in the Sackville area.

Mounties said they executed a search warrant at a home on Pond Shore Road on Nov. 22.

Officers seized “significant quantities” of suspected cocaine, methamphetamine pills, crystal methamphetamine and hydromorphone pills, RCMP said in a news release on Wednesday.

Also seized were nine unsafely stored firearms, including a prohibited rifle and a restricted handgun, along with nearly 55,000 contraband cigarettes and a “large amount” of money.

A 39-year-old man and a 37-year-old man, both from Sackville, along with a 40-year-old man from Nova Scotia were arrested at the scene.

The 37-year-old and 40-year-old men were later released from custody, while the 39-year-old man was remanded into custody on outstanding warrants.
