On May 20, 2020, Fisher Branch RCMP, along with assistance from the East District Crime Reduction Enforcement Support Team (CREST) and our Police Dog Services unit, executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant at two residences located on the Peguis First Nation. The search resulted in the recovery of cocaine, a firearm, Canadian currency and drug paraphernalia.
Police arrested two males on scene, a 56-year-old and a 34-year-old, both from the Peguis First Nation, and later released them on court imposed conditions to attend court scheduled for September 15, 2020, in Peguis.
The Crime Reduction Enforcement Support Team focuses on intelligence-based investigations into drugs, rural property crime and serious, prolific offenders within our communities. There are currently three CREST teams in the province, one in the north, one in the east and one in the west.
Fisher Branch RCMP continue to investigate.
