TRURO - A 17-year-old female and 24-year-old male were arrested in front of the high school on Thursday and charged with drug-related offences.

When arrested, the female was in possession of marijuana that Truro Police Service Drug Enforcement Unit believes was intended to be sold at the Cobequid Educational Centre.

A total of 12 grams of marijuana was seized.

A search warrant related to the arrest was executed at a Queen Street residence later in the day.

The female was charged with possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and the male was charged with trafficking the drug.

This is the second arrest the unit has made in a little over a week.

A 40-year-old female was arrested on Oct. 3 on Prince Street and charged with trafficking marijuana and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

All three parties are scheduled to appear in provincial court next month.

Though Jimmy makes a point, I think this is less about chest-thumping and more about making a statement to keep a perimeter between drugs and schools. I am not suggesting an atrocious amount of time and money isn't being wasted busting every small-time pot dealer... My statement is simply: Kids, get your high school diploma BEFORE you decide you smoke your enthusiasm away.

Can't believe they still bother wasting valuable police time and resources to go after a harmless "drug" like marijuana. If they want to catch some real drug dealers they should be shutting down Tim Hortons and the NSLC. Oh but wait, those places make money for the government so it's okay.

  Drugs and school do not mix! Good job to the 5.0 on this one.
