The Pictou County Integrated Street Crime Enforcement Unit (PCISCEU) seized drugs and a weapon from a Pictou residence during a search warrant execution.
In December 2024, the Pictou unit began investigating potential drug trafficking from a residence on Poplar Street, Pictou.
On February 6, members of the unit, assisted by the Pictou County District RCMP, RCMP Police Dog Services, Pictou County District GIS, and Stellarton Police Service, executed a search warrant at the residence and seized cocaine, methamphetamine, and a bladed weapon.
Five people were arrested at the home, including:
Emily Jessica Barker, 31, of Masstown
Amanda Michelle Binder, 23, of Stellarton
Amanda Leeanne Deyoung, 45, of New Glasgow
Colin Martin Graham, 34, of Stellarton
Jarom Elliott Merriam, 40, of Truro
All five face two counts each of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking and Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose. They were released from custody pending a court appearance on April 14 in Pictou Provincial Court.
