A trio of suspects facing drug charges following a five-month investigation are scheduled to return to court Monday.
Police say members of the Inverness-Richmond RCMP Street Crime Enforcement Unit searched a home in Port Hawkesbury in May.
They say officers seized a significant amount of cocaine, as well as marijuana and drug trafficking paraphernalia.
Morgan Wallace Stark, 25, of Troy, Adam Chester Stark, 28, of Port Hawkesbury and Jonathan Edward Nicholson, 31, of Port Hawkesbury face a total of 16 drug-related charges in the case.
They elected a Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge-and-jury trial during an election-and-plea hearing in October; all three are expected for preliminary inquiries, which will determine if there’s enough evidence to send the case to trial, in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court, while Nicholson has an election-and-plea hearing on some of his counts.
