Winnipeg police have seized more than five kilograms of cocaine — with an estimated street value of $200,000 — in a raid on a Hawthorne Avenue home as part of a drug trafficking investigation.
In addition to the cocaine — which included an additional 350 grams of the drug that hadn’t been packaged — police also seized around $120,000 in cash, packaging materials, a money counter and a “billiard ball weapon” in Friday’s raid.
