An ongoing drug investigation reaped benefits for the Steinbach RCMP GIS (General Investigative Section) and the East District Crime Reduction Enforcement Support team as they executed a search warrant at a Steinbach residence on May 1.
Police say they seized methamphetamine, crack cocaine, psilocybin (magic mushrooms), 6 kg of illegal cannabis, 45,000 illegal cigarettes, a conducted energy weapon, a firearm and over $140,000 in cash.
That good day for local investigators turned out to be a very bad day for a 50-year-old female who was arrested at the scene and is facing a number of charges under the Criminal Code, Cannabis Act and the Tax Administration and Miscellaneous Taxes Act.
She was released from custody pending an upcoming court date.
RCMP say the investigation is ongoing and further arrests are anticipated.
