Winnipeg police say they’ve charged five people — including a 17-year-old boy — after a drug trafficking investigation culminated in arrests over the long weekend.
On Friday, officers searched homes on Drew Street and Roger Street, leading to the seizure of $7,100 in cocaine, $9,900 in crack, $4,800 in cash, and a loaded, sawed-off rifle and ammunition.
A 2017 Mercedes-Benz was also seized and towed, police said.
