Two Portage la Prairie residents are facing numerous drug related charges after being arrested by police this past week.
Just before 11pm, on October 5, 2012, Portage la Prairie General Investigation Section, RCMP and Traffic Services executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant at a residence in the 500 block of 9th Street NW in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.
RCMP report that 140 grams marijuana, a small amount of cannabis oil, paraphernalia consistent with trafficking marijuana as well as an undisclosed amount of cash were located and seized from the residence.
Police say that two individuals from Portage la Prairie were arrested and charged for possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime. Both have since been released and are scheduled to appear in Portage la Prairie Provincial Court on November 5, 2012.
Police continue to investigate.
Anyone with information regarding the drug trafficking is asked to call their local police agency or RCMP Detachment.
