As the result of two individual investigations by members of the Thompson RCMP, a quantity of drugs and weapons were seized. The incidents lead to the arrest of multiple suspects.
Thompson RCMP recently conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle located on Wolf Street in the community. As the officer pulled in behind the suspect vehicle, the driver immediately exited his vehicle and began walking towards the police vehicle in what appeared to be a threatening manner. The officer exited his vehicle and immediately detained the driver and conducted a cursory search for weapons.
As a result of the search, the officer located a crack pipe with crack/cocaine inside of it. Officers subsequently arrested both the 49-year-old male driver and 29-year-old female passenger. The suspects, both from Thompson, were then secured inside the police vehicle.
A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of approximately 115 grams of cocaine, cash, a hatchet and other drug-related paraphernalia. Officers then prepared and executed a search warrant for a residence located on Birch Avenue where they seized an additional quantity of cocaine, cash, a firearm and additional drug-related paraphernalia.
RCMP report that 49-year-old Clark Chornoby, from Illford, was remanded into custody on charges including possession for the purpose of trafficking, along with numerous firearm-related offences. The 29-year-old female was released for a future court date in Thompson where she will face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and several firearm-related offences.
Members with the Thompson General Investigative Section (GIS) soon after executed a search warrant at a residence located on Brandon Crescent in the City of Thompson. The search of the property led to the seizure of approximately 110 grams of crack cocaine, $1,500 in cash, over 800 illicit pills and other drug-related paraphernalia.
Police say that 21-year-old Noah Rambarran, from North York, ON, was remanded into custody on charges including possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime and carrying a concealed weapon. A 28-year-old female, from Thompson, was released for a future court date where she will face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime.
