Almost $7 million of drugs have been taken off Manitoba’s streets.
The RCMP has taken more than 22 kg of meth off Manitoba’s streets, after setting up an extended operation.
The force managed to pull off this feat after arresting two Winnipeg residents for trying to import 40 kg of cocaine into the province, in 2018.
That early arrest led the RCMP to launch Project DECLASS, a full-scale investigation into the network involving multiple organized crime groups operating out of Winnipeg.
