The New Brunswick RCMP has arrested two individuals following a drug investigation in the communities of Killarney Road and Penniac, N.B.
In February 2026, members of the New Brunswick RCMP’s Provincial Crime Reduction Unit (PCRU) and the Fredericton Police Force’s Integrated Enforcement Unit began an investigation into the trafficking of illegal drugs in the Killarney Road and Penniac areas.
On August 26, 2026, at approximately 5 a.m., members of the New Brunswick RCMP’s PCRU, Keswick detachment, Emergency Response Team, Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems, Fredericton Police Force, and Justice and Public Safety simultaneously executed search warrants at residences on Route 148 in Killarney Road, and on River Road in Penniac.
During the searches, police seized quantities of what are believed to be co***ne, psilocybin, drug paraphernalia, and cash. A 47-year-old man from Killarney Road, N.B. and a 24-year-old man from Penniac, N.B., were arrested without incident.
Both men were later released and will appear in court at a later date.
The public plays an important role in helping to reduce, prevent and solve crime, including the trafficking of illegal drugs. Anyone with information about, or who suspects, illegal drug activity in their neighbourhood is asked to contact their local police. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), by downloading the secure P3 Mobile App, or by Secure Web Tips at www.crimenb.ca.
The investigation is ongoing.
