RCMP arrest Boissevain man for drug trafficking

On July 7, 2023, at approximately 5:30 pm, Manitoba RCMP West District Crime Reduction Enforcement Support Team (CREST), with the assistance of the Turtle Mountain RCMP, executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act warrant at a residence on Aikman Street in Boissevain, Manitoba.

When the warrant was executed, the resident of the home, a 26-year-old male, fled on foot from police. After a short foot pursuit, he was arrested.

As a result of the search, police seized cocaine, an undisclosed amount of Canadian currency derived from the proceeds of trafficking illicit drugs, and drug trafficking paraphernalia.

The male was charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking Cocaine, Possession of Proceeds of Crime, and Resisting Arrest. He has been released from custody.

The investigation continues.

Those who produce and traffic illicit drugs destroy lives, homes and communities. The RCMP remains fully committed to enforcing laws against illicit drugs to their fullest extent.
