Winnipeg police have made several arrests following separate investigations related to drug trafficking.

One of the men inside had 55 pieces of crack cocaine on him. He and the other man in the car, both in their early 20s, were arrested for cocaine possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Later that day, officers noticed a suspicious man riding a bike near Pembina Highway and Bishop Grandin Boulevard. When he was stopped in the middle of the road, officers noticed he had a folding knife on his belt.
