⚠️💥💥-BREAKING-💥💥⚠️

The situation surrounding drug-related crime in New brunswick has reached a critical point that demands urgent attention. Recently, law enforcement apprehended an individual in possession of an ounce of fentanyl in Moncton New Brunswick along with $2,000 in cash. Despite the seriousness of this offense, this person was released with only a promise to appear in court.

To understand the gravity of this incident, it's important to consider the lethality of fentanyl. Just two milligrams of fentanyl can be fatal for an average adult, meaning that an ounce (approximately 28 grams) could potentially kill thousands of individuals if distributed. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is significantly more potent than he**in and morphine, contributing to the ongoing opioid crisis that has devastated communities across Canada and beyond.

This incident raises significant concerns about our justice system's effectiveness in handling drug-related offenses. Critics argue that lenient repercussions for serious crimes undermine public safety and fail to deter future illegal activities. The release of individuals involved in drug trafficking not only poses a risk to the community but also sends a troubling message about the prioritization of rehabilitation over accountability.

The ongoing fentanyl crisis is a public health emergency, and immediate action is necessary to address the root causes and consequences of drug trafficking. Stricter enforcement and penalties for those caught with dangerous substances like fentanyl could help curb the spread of this deadly drug and protect vulnerable populations.

It's time for our justice system to implement reforms that ensure the safety and well-being of all citizens. The current approach must be reevaluated to provide a more robust response to the challenges posed by drug-related crime. Our communities deserve a justice system that prioritizes their safety and holds offenders accountable for their actions.

The Western Valley Region RCMP is asking for the public’s help to locate a 30-year-old man in connection with a series of offences in the Woodstock, N.B. region.

On July 25, 2025, members of the Western Valley Region RCMP were patrolling in Benton, N.B. when they came across an individual driving an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with no helmet. The individual, a 30-year-old man from Benton, was known to police and is currently on several conditions, including being prohibited from driving, and being bound by an ankle monitor which he had cut off. Police attempted to stop the man, who then ran his ATV into a police vehicle and proceeded to flee.

A short time later, police observed the man driving his ATV through the parking lot of the RCMP detachment in Woodstock, and through the front lawn of the Woodstock Provincial Courthouse. Both properties sustained minor damages.

Police are now seeking help from the public to locate Edward (Eddie) Hayes, who was last seen in the Woodstock region driving a camouflage ATV and wearing a t-shirt and shorts. If you see him, please do not approach, and call 911.

If you have seen Edward Hayes or if you have information on his whereabouts, please contact the Western Valley Region RCMP at 506-325-3000. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), by downloading the secure P3 Mobile App, or by Secure Web Tips at www.crimenb.ca.

🚨 UPDATE – STILL MISSING 🚨

We are still actively searching for Luc. His kayak, life jacket, and phone were found 2 miles east of the caissi cape wharf. But Luc’s fishing bucket, rod, sandals, and swimsuit were not found.

Luc would never remove his life jacket while on the water, and it’s still very possible he made it to shore before the kayak drifted and flipped in the current.

RCMP and Search & Rescue are involved, and the search is still ongoing.

We’ve received so much support — thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We’ll respond to messages when we can. If it’s urgent, please text me at (506) 962-1854.

✨ Right now, anything helps:
• Share this post
• Walk beaches or trails
• Check around your property or shoreline
• If you have a boat, kayak, paddleboard, or seadoo, please consider searching the water, especially near:
• Shediac Island
• Cocagne Island
• Skull Island
• Any nearby beaches, wharfs, or wooded shorelines

Please — the only thing I ask is that we all stay positive. Even if it’s hard:

“We are going to find him.”
Say it until you believe it. 💛

We’re asking everyone to — light a candle, post a light, say a prayer, and send hope. Every light matters.
