Antigonish drug bust suspects scheduled to return to court

Two men arrested following a drug bust in Antigonish are expected back in court Wednesday.

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 had election-and-plea hearings in February.

They’re scheduled for preliminary inquiries, which will determine if there is enough evidence to send the case to trial, in Antigonish Provincial Court.
