Manitoba First Nation Police Service (MFNPS) issued a news release on Feb. 3, explaining the investigation began with tips from the community.
“Through diligent work, investigators established a person of interest with suspected direct involvement in supplying methamphetamine and cocaine to community members,” the news release stated. “He allegedly had frequent visits to known drug houses and connection to individuals actively selling drugs on his behalf.
On Jan. 30, MFNPS officers executed search warrants at multiple locations, with tactical support provided by Altona Police, Winkler Police and the RCMP.
One male, who was not named by police, was arrested and released from custody to appear in court in Emerson to face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking of both cocaine and meth, and possession of proceeds of crime.
