Manitoba RCMP say they’ve intercepted more than 80 kilograms of cocaine that were headed for local streets.
Manitoba federal policing managed to disrupt what they call a “major international drug trafficking network” that runs cocaine and other drugs from Ontario into Manitoba.
On Monday, they seized 81 kilograms of cocaine, which they believe is the largest coke bust in Manitoba history. The operation is named “Project Drone.”
