A 38-year-old man from Port Hawkesbury has been arrested on drug-trafficking charges after Nova Scotia RCMP reportedly seized cocaine, crack cocaine, and suspected fentanyl.

A 63-year-old woman from Mackdale was also arrested and will face drug trafficking charges.

Police say through an ongoing investigation they learned a man in Port Hawkesbury was trafficking cocaine in the area.

Officers conducted a traffic stop on Nov. 5, stopping a vehicle travelling in Havre Boucher. They arrested the man and a passenger.

Police searched the vehicle and its occupants and allegedly seized the drugs.

Investigators later executed a search warrant at the man’s residence on Granville Street and searched a vehicle on the property.

There, they reportedly seized quantities of suspected cocaine, fentanyl and handgun magazines.

Bernard Donald MacIntyre has been charged with:

• possession for the purpose of trafficking (cocaine)

• two counts of possession of a prohibited device

MacIntyre was released on conditions and is due in Port Hawkesbury provincial court on Nov. 17.

The woman was also released and is due in court at a later date.
