A Sept. 28 search of a residence in Kinosao Sipi Cree Nation resulted in the seizure of a loaded handgun and nearly $40,000 worth of drugs, Norway House RCMP say.
Police executed a search warrant around 11 p.m. last Wednesday and found 80 grams of individually wrapped crack cocaine, 300 grams of powder cocaine and cash, as well as the gun. The estimated street value of the cocaine is about $38,000.
RCMP arrested three men from Winnipeg, aged 18, 21 and 22, for possessing cocaine, possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and firearms charges. They were released on a promise to appear in court at a future date so their names were not released.
Police continue to investigate and anticipate that they will make more arrests.
