Cumberland County District RCMP charge Ontario man, seize cocaine and firearm

April 24, 2025, Amherst, Nova Scotia… Cumberland County District RCMP has charged a man with drug trafficking and firearms offences after receiving information from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) regarding an ongoing investigation in its area.

On April 5, Eastern Region Federal Policing (Nova Scotia) received information from the OPP-led Biker Enforcement Unit about a possible suspect in an investigation into suspected drug trafficking activity by outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG) members in St. Catharines, Ontario, Ontario Provincial Police – News / Nouvelles. The suspect was believed to be travelling into Nova Scotia in a black Kia Sorento.

At approximately 9:20 a.m. on April 5 Cumberland County District RCMP located the vehicle travelling east on Hwy. 104 near Amherst. Officers conducted a high-risk traffic stop and safely arrested the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle. Officers searched the vehicle and seized 5 kg of cocaine, a firearm modified to look like an AK47, ammunition and a quantity of cash.

Scott Rempel, 37, of Welland, Ontario, has been charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (cocaine), Unauthorized Possession of Firearm, and Possession of a Firearm Knowing its Possession is Unauthorized.

“This serves as an excellent example of cooperation among and within police agencies to address organized crime networks across inter-provincial boundaries,” says Supt. Dave Chubbs, Eastern Region Federal Policing (Nova Scotia). “The quick action of frontline officers in Cumberland was instrumental to ensuring the cocaine and firearm didn’t reach our communities.”

“The OPP is grateful for the support from the RCMP on this significant investigation,” says Detective Insp. Scott Wade, OPP Biker Enforcement Unit. “It takes national collaboration across jurisdictions to disrupt drug trafficking networks and protect our respective communities.”

Rempel was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Amherst Provincial Court on April 25.

Nova Scotians are encouraged to contact their nearest RCMP detachment or local police to report crime, including the illegal sale of drugs, in their communities.

On April 19, RCMP officers responded to a report of unsecured firearms at a property on Jehill Davidson Rd. Upon arrival, officers also observed chemicals and materials consistent with the manufacturing of explosives at the scene. To ensure their safety and that of the public, the officers exited the residence, and the large rural property was secured.

Out of precaution, due to potentially volatile substances being stored at the scene, fire services were on standby.

During the search, RCMP officers seized three rifles, four shotguns, ammunition, and components that could be used to make explosives. Samples of the chemicals were seized for analysis before a third party contractor safely disposed of the substances.

The search of the property was concluded on April 23.

“At the scene, officers were faced with a complex situation involving unidentified chemicals that could be dangerous,” says Supt. Jason Popik, District Policing Officer, Southwest Nova RCMP District. “However, with the assistance of specialized policing services and our interoperability with our partners, a safe and thorough search of the property was completed.”
