    The RCMP-RNC Joint Forces Operation (JFO) West have made more progress on targeting drug trafficking on the west coast of the island.

    On November 17, police arrested and charged two Corner Brook individuals, 52-year-old Shannon Wyatt and 34-year-old Marlee White after a traffic stop was conducted on the Trans-Canada Highway near Corner Brook. The two occupants were arrested when officers located and seized more than three combined ounces of crack cocaine and cocaine, a quantity of cash and other items consistent with drug trafficking.
