Flin Flon duo charged in raid on home cannabis store: Manitoba RCMP

A pair of Flin Flon residents are facing a raft of charges after RCMP say they discovered an illegal cannabis store inside a home.

Police said an ongoing investigation led them to raid the Princess Boulevard home on April 30, a search which turned up more than $430,000 in illegal cannabis products, including dried cannabis, gummies, infused chocolate bars, and various extracts, resins and other cannabis derivates.

None of the cannabis products seized had proper Manitoba taxation stamps, police said.

Mutiple pounds of psilocybin and $90,000 in cash were also seized, as well as 25 firearms.

A 42-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were arrested at the scene and will appear in court Aug. 1 to face numerous drug trafficking and firearms offences, as well as possession of property obtained by crime and offences under the Cannabis Act.
