An ongoing investigation in Thompson, Man., has led to a pair of arrests by Manitoba RCMP, as well as seizures of drugs, cash and more.
RCMP said a four-month-long investigation led to a warehouse — which police said is connected to a local business with alleged drug and organized crime ties — on Severn Crescent in Thompson at the beginning of last month.
Police seized a large quantity of pills, cash, a safe encased in concrete, and drug paraphernalia.
On Friday, as part of the ongoing investigation, police raided a second Thompson location — an apartment on Princeton Drive.
In this search, they seized 315 grams of cocaine, along with pills, more cash, and more drug paraphernalia.
