WINNIPEG — A large-scale drugs and weapons investigation launched last September has resulted in three people being charged.
Federal RCMP, along with the Manitoba Integrated Organized Crime Task Force, led Project DARE targeting drugs and weapons trafficking within the city of Winnipeg.
Search warrants were executed Thursday on two Winnipeg residences, including one downtown and another in the North Kildonan area.
Police made arrests relating to the investigation and seized a number of items, including cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy and marijuana. Officers also seized approximately $100,000 in cash, three handguns, one assault rifle, two long barrelled guns, two prohibited magazines and associated ammunition.
