PORT WORKERS FACE CHARGES
The raids in Nova Scotia netted $27.5 million worth of drugs, $3 million in
assets and $178,000 cash.
Three port workers -- Paul Arthur, a crane operator who lives in Ketch
Harbour, longshoreman Robert Langille of Fall River, and Cerescorp clerk
Laurence Cody were flown to Montreal yesterday for arraignment on charges
of importation, possession for the purposes of trafficking and conspiracy
to import drugs.
On Tuesday, officers searched Arthur's business, G&A Excavating, at 187
Ketch Harbour Rd., seizing items and towing away vehicles. They also
searched Arthur's newly built home behind the business.
Arthur's former business partner, Trevor Gibson, also of Ketch Harbour, was
also charged with possession for the purposes of trafficking. Gibson's 142
Ketch Harbour Rd. home was also searched Tuesday.
David Bernard Gray of Ketch Harbour was arrested Tuesday and arraigned on
drug-trafficking charges in Halifax provincial court yesterday. The burly,
sandy-haired man faces one count of possession of hashish for the purpose
of trafficking.
Judge Castor Williams released him on $15,000 bail, with a number of
conditions. Gray had to surrender his passport.
