Canadian Forces charge civilian member for drug-related offences in Esquimalt
Posted By: CHEK on: December 13, 2018
A Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) civilian member of CFB Esquimalt has been charged for drug-related offences from an investigation that began last year.
The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS) charged Noah William Currie with two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking under a section of the controlled drugs and substances act.
The defence department says the charges relate to alleged possession for the purpose of trafficking methamphetamine and Methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDMA) in September 2017 at or near CFB Esquimalt.
Investigators says Currie was in the area of a residential housing unit at the time of the offence and is currently in prison for other crimes investigated by another police service.
Officials say the investigation started in June 2017 after a third-party complaint about a member allegedly trafficking methamphetamine at a residence in Victoria.
CAF says a member was arrested Jan. 8 following a search warrant.
“Activities such as the possession and trafficking of illegal drugs are extremely damaging to the health and welfare of our community, and will not be tolerated,” CFNIS Commanding Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Kevin Cadman said in a release.
“These charges reflect our ongoing commitment to conduct professional national-level drug enforcement investigations in order to ensure those responsible are brought to justice and maintain a safe and secure environment for all CAF personnel.”

A man who was living in the residential unit of CFB Esquimalt has been charged with drug trafficking.
A release provided by the Department of National Defense said Noah William Currie, a Canadian Armed Forces civilian who was living at CFB Esquimalt residential housing, is alleged to have possessed methamphetamine and MDMA in Sept. 2017 with the intent to traffic.
Currie, 20, is in prison after being arrested by the Victoria Police for attempted theft and the exclusion of evidence in 2017. In Dec. 2017, he also was found guilty of breaching an undertaking. There are two court records from 2018 regarding Currie that are under a publication ban. He was charged for two counts of trafficking on Nov. 15.
The investigation began in June 2017 after a complaint that someone was trafficking at the residential housing unit in Victoria. Currie was arrested on Jan. 8, 2018 after a search warrant was executed.
In 2019, Currie will also appear in court for eight charges from April 28, 2018, in Esquimalt that include assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, use of firearm, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, possessing a firearm without a licence and/or registration and motor vehicle theft.
