Former senior N.S. Mountie convicted of stealing 10 kilograms of cocaine

Craig Robert Burnett -- the one-time commander of an RCMP National Port Enforcement Team -- stole the drug from the force's Nova Scotia headquarters in 2010 or 2011, and replaced it with another substance.

The judge said the 51-year-old Burnett gave the cocaine to a businessman friend, Scott Rowlings, who then gave it to a third man, Mike Kanasevich, to sell. Burnett had spent 20 years in the Mounties before being suspended with pay in July 2016 and then retiring. "I find this to have been a lonely period in Mr. Burnett's life ... Mr. Burnett felt 'betrayed' by his former spouse. I accept that when Mr. Burnett did not have his children and was not working, he sought solace in playing poker at the casino," said the judge.The province's independent Serious Incident Response Team began an investigation in 2015 after the police watchdog was contacted by the RCMP.

You wouldn't think our own mounties and police would do such terrible stuff there suppose to be out there to serve and protect not steal

That blows!

Good story but where's the rest of it? What was the sentence. FInding an ex cop guilty is one thing, ignoring the fact at sentencing that he was a cop, is another. Wanna bet he got off easy?

Should just legalize the stuff and sell it in liquor stores right beside that other legalized drug called alcohol. We all know alcohol hasn’t destroyed any lives in Canada 🇨🇦

Was it worth your career 🤔

He's not the only crooked cop. I'm willing to bet they still work with the RCMP, even here in Newfoundland and Labrador.
