Suspect in cocaine trafficking investigation scheduled to stand trial

A man from Richmond Co. charged in Operation Halfpenny is expected back in to court Tuesday.

RCMP arrested six men in connection with a conspiracy to import cocaine in Feb. 2017.

They say the arrests came a year-and-a-half after officers uncovered a plot to import more than a tonne of cocaine from Colombia.

Wayne Bennie Mury, 44, of Arichat has been charged with two offences- cocaine trafficking and possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

Mury, who was committed to stand trial following a preliminary hearing in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court in Oct. 2017, is scheduled to start his trial in Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Port Hawkesbury.
