INDIVIDUALS CHARGED IN MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES BUSTS BACK IN COURT IN JANUARY

Six people charged following police raids on marijuana dispensaries in
Bible Hill in September are to appear in provincial court in January
to enter pleas.

The six individuals were charged after RCMP officers made simultaneous
busts at three medical marijuana dispensaries on Sept. 1.

Each person is charged with trafficking in marijuana and cannabis
resin as well as with possessing marijuana and cannabis resin for the
purpose of trafficking.

[Name redacted], 43, and [Name redacted], 30, of Lyman Street and [Name 
redacted], 32, of Shore Road, Clifton, are to return to court Jan. 17.

Also returning on that date are [Name redacted], 25 and
[Name redacted], 27, of Princess Margaret Boulevard, Dartmouth.

[Name redacted], 48, of Highway 236, Kennetcook, is to return to court 
Jan. 24 to enter pleas on his charges.

While marijuana is due to be legalized across the country next year,
the RCMP have said current laws will be stringently enforced in Nova
Scotia until then.
