Two arrested, charged following drug seizure in Buffalo Narrows

Jul 20, 2021 | 3:29 PM

Buffalo Narrows RCMP have arrested and charged two individuals with multiple offences, including drug trafficking and weapons charges.

Police executed a search warrant at a residence on Cubby Street in Buffalo Narrows Monday evening, resulting in the seizure of 136 grams of crack cocaine and the arrest of two occupants, 39 year-old Bernel McLeod and 59 year-old Kimberly McLeod of Buffalo Narrows. They also seized prescription drugs, drug trafficking paraphernalia, a number of weapons and two pellet guns that replicate handguns. Cst. Sandra Lapointe said this was an important arrest, given the items seized and that they were after Bernel for a long time.

“We’ve had him as a target for at least a year now,” she said.

Lapointe said it’s also a significant seizure for the detachment, getting both drugs and weapons off the streets.

“Especially in this community, because we’ve been having a lot of issues with cocaine,” she said.
