RCMP in Newfoundland and Labrador say they have arrested a 63-year-old man following the execution of a residential search warrant on July 15, 2024 in which they seized tobacco, “suspected hashish” and nearly $17,000 in Canadian currency.

While the police report refers to 2.25 pounds of “suspected hashish”, an image shared by RCMP NL shows boxes labelled as containing cannabis gummies and “shatter chews”.

A website advertising the shatter chews, Euphoria Extractions, shows dozens of locations where the unlicensed products can be purchased. None of the listed locations are in Newfoundland and Labrador. 

The search warrant was executed at a residence on Seventeenth Avenue in Grand Falls-Windsor. The 63-year-old is Andrew Noseworthy of Grand Falls-Windsor, was arrested on the property and was charged with possession of contraband Cannabis, possession of unstamped tobacco, and possession of contraband tobacco.

He is scheduled to appear in court on September 4, 2024. The investigation is continuing.

There are currently 55 licensed cannabis stores listed by Cannabis NL.
