Comme l'explique le sergent d'état major de la GRC André Potvin, ces arrestations ont permis de mettre à bas un réseau qualifié de sophistiqué qui serait dirigé par Denis Robichaud, âgé de 50 ans, de Val-Comeau.

Drug trafficker is sentenced to prison
http://www.infomedia.gc.ca/rcmp-grc/articles/unrestricted/2013/09/rcm201395850254100_38.htm 
A Moncton man was sentenced to 30 months in prison yesterday for repeatedly selling drugs to a police agent. Jamie George Dionne, 26, appeared in Moncton provincial court to be sentenced by Judge Denis Lordon. A sentencing hearing was held on Thursday, and Lordon remanded the offender and adjourned for a day to consider the proper sentence. Federal prosecutor Nicole Angers had requested 3� years in prison while defence lawyer Leslie Matchim asked for two years. Lordon said it's clear Dionne was a street-level vendor with a criminal enterprise. Working against him was the fact he was involved with several transactions involving different drugs, and he involved a young person in one of those deals.

Bagarres de rue à Moncton
La GRC enquête sur le contenu d'une vidéo, diffusée sur YouTube, montrant une bagarre générale survenue au cours de la fin de semaine au centre-ville de Moncton. Dans la nuit de dimanche à lundi, aux alentours de 2 h 30, la police a reçu un appel l'informant d'une bataille sur la rue Main, à la hauteur de la ruelle Robinson. Des patrouilleurs se sont rendus sur les lieux, et un policier, témoin d'une altercation entre deux hommes à l'arrière de la ruelle Robinson, a procédé à l'interpellation d'un jeune homme âgé de 18 ans pour voie de fait ayant causé des lésions corporelles. Impressionnante en raison du nombre de personnes impliquées et de la violence inhabituelle avec laquelle elle s'est déroulée, la rixe a été filmée par un passant, dont on peut entendre les rires, qui a mis la vidéo en ligne sur YouTube. Les enquêteurs examinent le film, de 2 minutes 45, intitulé Girls Fighting: Night Life Gone Bad in Moncton New Brunswick Canada. Mardi après-midi, celui-ci avait été visionné près de 56 000 fois. Il s'achève sur le passage à tabac d'un homme au sol, au milieu de la rue Main. Celui-ci est ensuite emmené, à demi inconscient, sur le trottoir. «On croit que tout est arrivé à peu près en même temps, mais l'incident dont le policier a été témoin n'est pas le même que celui qu'on voit à la fin de la vidéo», a confirmé le sergent André Pepin. La GRC demande l'aide du public pour identifier les personnes figurant sur cette scène de combat de rue. Quiconque a des informations peut communiquer avec Échec au crime.

A Moncton man recently picked an unfortunate time to conduct a drug transaction. "He was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said defence lawyer Hazen Brien, in Moncton provincial court yesterday. Even federal prosecutor Patrice Deschenes seemed to agree, referring to the young man as a "casualty of the war on drug trafficking." Alex Vosper, 19, appeared before Judge Troy Sweet for sentencing after earlier pleading guilty to drug trafficking and drug possession. Both sides made a joint recommendation for a one-month conditional sentence followed by six months probation, which the judge followed.

Man jailed for chatting over Internet with childhttp://www.infomedia.gc.ca/rcmp-grc/articles/unrestricted/2013/09/rcm20139125394942_38.htm A Moncton man has been sentenced to jail after being caught webchatting with a 10-year-old girl. Eugene Rodney Marshall has been under a court order for two years to stay off the Internet, unless for work purposes. He was also not supposed to contact people under the age of 16 on the Internet when he conducted a recent webchat with a 10-year-old Halifax girl. When police executed a search warrant on Marshall's Moncton home on July 25, he stuffed his phone under the cushions of the couch he was sitting on. They found it anyway, and the man was charged with several offences. Marshall, 60, was under restrictions because he was convicted of possessing child pornography in August 2011.
