On Aug. 18, Manitoba East District Crime Reduction Enforcement Support Team (CREST) began an investigation of cocaine trafficking at a residence on Highway 6, in Fairford.
Further investigation led CREST to immediately apply for a search warrant for the residence.
On Aug. 22, CREST and the Gypsumville RCMP executed the search warrant. There was nobody at the residence at the time.
Drugs were found in many hidden compartments throughout the residence. RCMP also seized a rifle that had a loaded extended magazine, brass knuckles and air guns that were made to look like handguns.

- Possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking

- Unauthorised possession of a prohibited weapon x 2
