Two Portage la Prairie residents are facing drug trafficking charges after police discovered cocaine at a local residence earlier this week.
On November 13, 2011, Portage la Prairie RCMP with the assistance of Portage la Prairie RCMP Police Dog Service executed a CDSA (Controlled Drugs and Substances Act) search warrant at a residence on Oak Bay in the City of Portage la Prairie.
Approximately 680 grams of powder cocaine was located in the residence during the search. The street value of the seizure is estimated to be $54,000.
RCMP report that two adults, a man and a woman, were arrested at the residence.
31-year-old Quinn Marie Drain and Gilbert Mousseau of Portage la Prairie have both been charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. They remain in custody with a pending court date.
Police continue to investigate.
