Winnipeg, MB – Two people are facing trafficking charges after Winnipeg Police executed search warrants tied to a Guns & Gangs Unit investigation, uncovering hundreds of thousands of dollars in drugs, cash, and contraband cigarettes.
According to the Winnipeg Police Service, the investigation led to two separate searches in the West Kildonan and Garden City neighbourhoods. Officers seized more than $117,000 in drugs, $270,000 in illegal cigarettes, and over $21,000 in cash.
