Brian Cochrane, 55, is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime, and unsafe storage of a firearm.

Cochrane was scheduled to appear in court Monday.

RCMP say CREST is focused on intelligence-based investigations into drugs, rural property crime and serious, prolific offenders in rural communities.

There are currently three CREST teams working in northern, eastern, and western Manitoba, say RCMP.
