Two individuals are facing a number of drug-related charges after recently being arrested in Steinbach by local RCMP.
Grow-op discovered by local RCMP at a Steinbach residence.
On August 28, 2015, members of the RCMP’s General Investigation Section conducted an investigation under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. As a result of this investigation, members of the Steinbach Detachment executed a search warrant at a residence on Carleton Drive in Steinbach. This Warrant resulted in a marijuana grow operation being dismantled. The street value of the drugs seized is estimated at $179,000.
RCMP report that as a result of this investigation, a 41-year-old woman and a 49-year-old man have been arrested for producing a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Both individuals were released from custody on a promise to appear in court at a later date.
