A traffic stop in Bloomfield led to the seizure of suspected cocaine and fentanyl and a drug trafficking charge.
The Hampton RCMP says officers were conducting a proactive check stop on Route 1 at about 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 29 when a driver allegedly attempted to provide false identification.
Police said the driver, a 39-year-old Kingston man, was arrested for obstruction.
Following the arrest, officers conducted a search and seized what is believed to be 29 grams of cocaine, 12 grams of fentanyl and an undisclosed amount of cash.
The man later appeared in Saint John provincial court and was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking methamphetamine, according to the RCMP.
He was released on conditions and is scheduled to return to court on Nov. 26.
Police said a second person in the vehicle was also arrested on an unrelated matter and later released.
Anyone with information about suspected illegal drug activity is asked to contact their local police service.
Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), through the P3 Mobile App, or by submitting a secure tip online.
