Winnipeg police aren’t ready to release the full details yet, but an ongoing investigation has led to a swath of police activity across the city Wednesday morning.
Insp. Elton Hall says over a dozen arrests have been made in areas including St. James and Sage Creek, and have connections to organized crime.
The investigation, which police have referred to as ‘multi-jurisdictional’, extends well beyond the confines of Manitoba.
