Four people have been charged with methamphetamine trafficking after a Steinbach RCMP GIS unit and Altona Police Service led investigation. Police officers from the Emerson and Morris RCMP detachments and the Winkler Police Service assisted in the investigation.
Police say that shortly after midnight on February 6, 2016, a search warrant was executed on a residence in Morris, Manitoba. As a result of the warrant, police arrested four people inside the residence for methamphetamine trafficking as well as seizing methamphetamine, scales, money and packaging materials from the residence.
Evidence gained by the police also lead to a second search warrant being executed on a vehicle from Lorette in which police found further methamphetamine, scale and packaging materials.
As a result of this investigation, Rachel Jacques and Jordon Demare of Morris, Travis St. Jacques of Steinbach and Rachel Morris of Lorette are all facing numerous drug trafficking related charges. Both Rachel Jacques and Jordon Demare had been arrested and charged on December 3, 2015, for several offences including trafficking methamphetamine following Project Doorman, an investigation into methamphetamine trafficking in South Eastern Manitoba. Both are still currently on bail for those charges.
