Winnipeg cops seize drugs worth $47K in searches at St. James homes

Three people are in custody facing a litany of drug charges after Winnipeg police raided two St. James-area homes last week.

Police said the guns and gangs unit began a drug trafficking investigation in May, which led to searches of homes on Sackville and Roseberry streets on July 11, and the arrests of two men and a woman.

During the searches, officers seized 453 grams of cocaine, 41 grams of meth, and 10 grams of MDMA, with a total estimated street value of more than $47,000.
