On April 3, 2010, Steinbach RCMP with the assistance of the Ste. Anne Police Department, arrested a 19-year-old male and an 18-year-old female in relation to a two week long drug investigation.
The investigation began after the Steinbach RCMP received numerous calls regarding suspicious activity at a residence on Second Street in Steinbach. The investigation determined that marijuana was being sold out of the residence, and in particular, to young teenagers.
On April 3, 2010 the suspects were arrested at the Steinbach Skateboard Park where the male subject was found to be in possession of marijuana packaged for sale. A subsequent search warrant of their residence resulted in more evidence of drug trafficking being located and seized.
Both suspects are facing charges of possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and were released for a court date in May. The female suspect is also facing an additional charge of breaching a court ordered condition.
