Nearly $1 million worth of drugs were seized by Winnipeg police following a nearly year-long investigation into an alleged interprovincial drug trafficking operation. Winnipeg police shared details about the operation on Tuesday, noting it started in December 2025 and spanned several provinces. Police allege illicit drugs were sourced from Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia and then transported into Manitoba through planes, passenger vehicles, courier services and postal shipments. The drugs were then distributed through Winnipeg, police allege. Approximately $970,000 worth of drugs were seized, including an estimated 29 kilograms of methamphetamine, 12 kilograms of cocaine, three kilograms of ketamine and 25,000 prescription opioid pills. Police also seized six firearms, four vehicles and approximately $126,000 in Canada currency. Multiple search warrants were executed in Winnipeg and in the Greater Toronto Area with help from RCMP, Canada Border Services Agency, Ontario Provincial Police and Peel Regional Police. Six people from Winnipeg and three people from Ontario have been charged with multiple drug trafficking and weapons related offences. Five of the suspects remain in custody, while the remaining four have been released on release orders. None of the charges have been proven in court.
