Antigonish drug bust suspects expected back in court in April

The cases of two men arrested following a drug bust in Antigonish are scheduled to return to court in the spring.

Police say members of the Antigonish/Guysborough RCMP Street Crime Enforcement Unit searched a home on Hawthorne St. in November.

They say officers seized a large amount of cocaine, marijuana and cash.

RCMP say two Antigonish men have been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Michael Charles Benoit, 49, of Antigonish and Coty Weston Leblanc, 23, made their first court appearances in the case in January; they returned to Antigonish Provincial Court Wednesday.

They’re expected back for preliminary hearings April 18.
