A drug trafficking investigation led by the Integrated Enforcement Unit (IEU) at the Fredericton Police Force (FPF) resulted in the arrest of two people on Jan. 16, 2025. Police seized 429.13 grams of methamphetamine and 13.74 grams of fentanyl. The drugs are valued at $24,240.
Jordan Phillips, age 20, of Fredericton, was charged with the following:
• CDSA 5(2) - Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking Methamphetamine
• CDSA 5(2) - Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking Fentanyl
• C.C 355(b)(ii) - Possession of Proceeds of Crime
Police also seized scales, gift cards, $670 in cash, a laptop, cell phone and a backpack.
Phillips was held in custody and released on judge’s order. A 19- year-old female, not identified as she has not yet appeared in court, was also arrested in connection with this investigation. She was released with a future court appearance scheduled.
Recent FPF-IEU investigations have led to the seizure of $65,000 worth of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine in October 2024, and $38,400 worth of cocaine in September 2024, contributing to a safer and healthier community by removing dangerous drugs like methamphetamine and fentanyl from our streets. In January, a traffic stop performed by Fredericton patrol officers resulted in an additional $23,000 worth of illicit drugs that were seized.
The IEU teams are made up of members from the RCMP, New Brunswick’s nine municipal police forces, and peace officers with the Province’s Department of Justice and Public Safety. These units focus on disrupting violence, the use of firearms, and the trafficking of illegal drugs across the province.
