RCMP from the Portage la Prairie Detachment conducted the search and discovered a marijuana grow operation located in the residence. A total of 57 plants were seized along with a quantity of loose marijuana and a sum of cash.
RCMP report that 43-year-old Erin Keith Bryson of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, was arrested and has been charged with production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Bryson has since been released on a promise to appear in Provincial Court on September 9, 2013, in Portage la Prairie Manitoba.
Anyone with information regarding the cultivation of marihuana is asked to call their local police agency or RCMP Detachment.
