Queens District RCMP have charged two people with multiple charges after a break and enter in East Berlin that led to a drug seizure.

Officers responded to a call in progress on April 23 at 6:40 p.m. at a cottage on East Berlin Road. Initially, police were told the owner had gone to the cabin and found an unknown car in the driveway and at least one person inside the building.

RCMP arrested two people in the cottage: a 37-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman, both from Brooklyn.

They seized the pair’s vehicle, an Audi S4, and released the suspects while they investigated.

Officers executed a search warrant on the vehicle on June 4 and found bear mace, a knife, a machete, and drugs believe to be cocaine and crack cocaine, as well as drug paraphernalia.

James Mathew Stewart is charged with:

  • break and enter with intent
  • mischief under $5,000
  • possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking
  • three counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose 

Angel Dawn Patterson is charged with:

  • break and enter with intent
  • mischief under $5,000
  • possession of a controlled substance

Both Stewart and Patterson are due to appear in Bridgewater provincial court on Aug. 28, at 9:30 a.m.
