Just before 2am on April 22, 2012, Portage la Prairie RCMP, assisted by the Portage la Prairie Police Dog Section, seized a quantity of marijuana and cocaine.
Police on patrol observed a 2000 Chevrolet 1500 on Highway 1 in the RM of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. The vehicle was stopped while police were investigating a Highway Traffic Act offence.
Subsequent investigation revealed that the lone occupant in the vehicle was in possession of approximately 22 grams of marijuana and approximately 2 grams of cocaine.
The driver, a 20-year-old man from Walkerton, Ontario, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. He has since been released and scheduled to appear in Provincial Court on June 4, 2012.
Police continue to investigate.
