Three men from New Glasgow, N.S., are facing drug trafficking charges after police searched six Pictou County locations as part of an ongoing investigation into property crime and drug offences.

Police executed the search warrants on May 26 at two residences in New Glasgow, a business in Plymouth, a storage locker on Westville Road, and a storage locker in Abercrombie.

“As warrants were being executed, investigators learned about another associated storage locker and obtained a sixth search warrant,” reads a news release from the Nova Scotia RCMP.

The RCMP says officers seized:

• drugs (cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, various pills)
• items associated with drug trafficking
• weapons, including a handheld conducted energy weapon (“stun gun”)
• 40 cartons of unstamped tobacco products
• cash
• several stolen vehicles, including a Kubota skid steer loader, a dirt bike, and several trailers

Two people were arrested as the searches were taking place and a third was arrested at a later date.

“During operations like this, we always keep in mind the large- and small-scale impact of our investigations,” said Cpl. Tony MacKinnon in the release. “Our overall goal is public safety for the community as a whole, especially when we’re seizing drugs, weapons, and other dangerous items.”

The three New Glasgow men – 34-year-old Matthew Greencorn, 30-year-old Travis Greencorn, and 63-year-old Michael MacIntyre – are each charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking (methamphetamine).

Police say the men are individually facing other charges related to property crimes, weapons offences, and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. All three were released pending future court appearances.
