Drugs, rifles, crossbow and shotgun seized in Thursday busts

Police in the region say they’ve seized some guns and drugs in recent busts.

Halifax Regional Police searched an apartment on Churchill Ct. Thursday night. That’s just northeast of Main and Caledonia in Dartmouth.

Officers seized cocaine, marijuana, prescription pills, two firearms, and a crossbow, along with cash and drug paraphernalia.

Jamie Lafitte, 22, of Dartmouth is charged with three counts of possession of drugs for trafficking and eight firearms charges. A 21-year-old woman whom police have not named faces the same charges.

Earlier Thursday, a car crash in Lower Sackville led police to drugs and a rifle.

A Chevrolet heading eastbound on Sackville Dr. collided head-on with a BMW going the other way at Rosemary Dr.

Police looked inside the Beamer and found drugs, ammunition, money and the rifle.

The driver was under a weapons prohibition.

So, police followed up at a home in Middle Sackville and found more money, another rifle and a shotgun.

Adam Blakeney, 25, is facing drug and weapons charges.
