Drug Arrests Lead to Protest at Sydney Courthouse

by Dave DesveauxDecember 5, 2017

A group of protesters gathered at the courthouse in Sydney yesterday in support of three people recently arrested on drug charges.

The three worked with Cape Breton Medical Cannabis on Grand Lake Road that was raided by Regional Police on Friday.

It’s since re-opened.

Customers of the business say its products have improved their quality of life.

A judge ruled yesterday 38 year-old Donald James Campbell will remain in custody until a bail hearing on Friday.

He and two co-accused are due in court on January 12th.
