A man and woman from Moncton have been charged with trafficking methamphetamine, cocaine and other drugs following a recent RCMP investigation.

The Codiac Regional RCMP's Crime Reduction Unit began an investigation in August into the trafficking of illegal drugs in Moncton, according to Sgt. Marco Leger.

Police identified two people of interest in connection with the investigation. On October 11th, 38-year-old Jamie Alexander was arrested in the Dieppe area. Two search warrants were then executed on a vehicle and at a hotel room, where police allegedly seized crystal methamphetamine, cocaine, hydromorphone, benzimidazole pills and money.
