On February 18, just before 6pm, police officers executed a search warrant at a residence on Centennial Drive in Swan River, MB.
Police say that the warrant to search had been obtained following an active investigation into an earlier break-in and theft of prescription drugs from a Swan River drug store.
Investigators are confident that the majority of the prescription drugs and stolen items have been recovered.
RCMP report that two suspects, a 32-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man. both from Swan River, have been arrested and remain in custody while charges are being finalized.
“The quick recovery of potentially lethal prescription drugs was the outmost priority for our officers,” said Sgt. Bert Paquet of the Manitoba RCMP. “While we believe most of the drugs have been recovered, our safety message does not change; the intentional use of non prescribed drugs can be lethal.”
Police continue to investigate.
