What an inconvenience for these three crack dealers! Now they have to get new cellphones. I wonder if their existing number will be available for transfer so their customers will not be at a loss to find them while they are out 'released on charges awaiting court dates.
All the same, good work RCMP. Keep hammering away at the scumbag opportunists. And to all the crack heads out there: Get Help. You are the people drawing these flies up to our community.

Why not publish the names of the three men in the vehicle and the name of the person buying the drugs. They didn't hesitate to publish and release names over the radio of the three charged a month or two ago. Let us know who these people are and give a description of the vehicle.

In future news all parties either were acquitted or given $100 fine and a tax receipt.

The revolving door system working just fine. Don't want to lock up the criminals. They might get Covid19. Poor darlings.
