A months-long police investigation into inter-provincial drug trafficking has led to a large seizure of cocaine and meth in Winnipeg.
Manitoba RCMP say officers raided a home in the Tyndall Park neighbourhood in February, arresting a woman and seizing five kilos of meth and one kilo of cocaine.
The raid followed a four-month long investigation by Manitoba RCMP’s federal serious and organized crime unit (FSOC), police say. RCMP say they couldn’t announce the seizure and arrest earlier because the investigation was ongoing.
They say the investigation was carried out with help from numerous specialized RCMP units as well as RCMP in British Columbia.
“Over the past 6 months two separate FSOC investigations have collectively seized 27 kilograms of meth and 44 kilograms of cocaine, and stopped it from reaching our communities,” said FCOS superintendent, Lisa Moreland in a police release.
