A total of five people were arrested last week in Flin Flon when two separate drug investigations wrapped up on the same day, Manitoba RCMP say.
On April 17, RCMP searched a home on Centennial Crescent in the northern Manitoba city, and seized 112 grams of cocaine, as well as guns, drug paraphernalia, and a ‘large amount’ of cash.
A 60-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman were arrested at the scene and will appear before a Flin Flon court this summer.
Later that same day, RCMP searched a Hill Street apartment and found more cocaine — 110 grams — as well as illicit tobacco, cash, and drug paraphernalia.
Three people were arrested on the scene in the Hill Street incident — two men in their 30s and a 20-year-old woman. One of the men was released without charge, and the woman will appear in court.
