Drugs, cash found in Bridgwater home

An Edmonton man is facing numerous drug charges after Winnipeg police seized more than $135,000 worth of drugs from a Bridgwater home.

The same day, they searched the suspect’s home in the 100 block of Appleford Gate and found 15 kilograms of methamphetamine, 730 grams of cocaine, 168 grams of fentanyl, $5,850 in Canadian cash and a Jamaican passport with the suspect’s name.
