A traffic stop on Highway 11 in the RM of Lac du Bonnet led Manitoba RCMP to the seizure of cocaine, illegal cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, cash and drug paraphernalia.
Police pulled over the vehicle on the Trans-Canada Highway in the RM of Reynolds, and a search turned up a 'sophisticated aftermarket compartment' containing 61 kilos of cocaine.
A 38-year-old man is in custody facing numerous charges in connection with an armed assault at Gaa-gwekwekojiwang (Ebb and Flow First Nation), Manitoba RCMP say.
The driver has been charged with breaking and entering, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, theft, possession of a weapon obtained by crime, and two counts of fleeing police.
