On May 23, 2009 around 7:30 PM Portage la Prairie RCMP responded to a complaint of people drinking on the street on Saskatchewan Avenue.
Police located the suspects, three men and one woman, in a vehicle in the parking lot on Saskatchewan Ave and 5th St NE. While police were investigating the complaint, police observed drug paraphernalia in plain view in the vehicle. Further investigation led to the discovery of various other drug paraphernalia, marijuana, and what are believed to be speed and ecstasy pills. There were approximately enough pills for 450 doses.
The four suspects were arrested, and three were later released without charge. An 18 year old man from Quebec was released to appear in court with drug possession and drug trafficking charges pending.
