RCMP drug investigation leads to arrest of Winnipeg man, seizure of contraband - Winnipeg

Manitoba RCMP say a Winnipeg man is facing multiple drug charges after he was arrested Tuesday as part of a months-long investigation that began in March.

Police allege that when the man was arrested, he was in possession of 147 grams of crack cocaine, 70 pills believed to be fentanyl, and other pills they believe to be Percocet/OxyContin.

All of the drugs, police said, were packed for individual sale. A subsequent search of a Winnipeg home led to the seizure of cash and cellphones.
