NEW POLICE TEAM CREDITED WITH DRUG-BUSTING SUCCESS

Moncton, N.B.

A police team that focuses on the Moncton area has seized cash and drugs 
valued at more than $2 million in little more than a year of operation.

They've been instrumental in detecting drugs and drug money being sent 
through the area via a courier service. In another case, they seized more 
than four kilograms of marijuana on its way to Newfoundland. Last year they 
broke up what is believed to be a large drug smuggling ring.

In all, drugs worth $2.2 million have been seized along with $205,000 in 
cash. A number of "persons of interest to the police" were also checked out.
