Eleven people have been arrested as the result of an organized crime investigation into cocaine trafficking by Brandon police.
Project Brazen, conducted in collaboration with Winnipeg Police Service, RCMP D Division and Manitoba Prosecution Service, took place between February 2020 and this May. Police seized a total of 4 kg of cocaine and more than $100,000 in cash, as well as items believed to be the proceeds of crime.
Brandon police said the project targeted a ‘sophisticated and prolific group’ of traffickers importing and selling cocaine — as well as other drugs — within the Manitoba city.
