The Russell RCMP seized 920 grams of cocaine and meth, along with a number of guns from a home in Rossburn last weekend.
Russell RCMP received a report of a break-and-enter in progress at a home on Main Street in Rossburn, just after 3 a.m. last Friday, February 3rd. One of the suspects had forcefully broken into the home, but they fled on foot when the resident called the police.
Police patrolled the area and arrested a 32-year-old male from Winnipeg, who said he was with the other suspect, and they were just trying to seek shelter from the cold. Police continued their search, with help from Police Dog Services, but they weren't able to find the other suspect.
The 32-year-old suspect, who was believed to be under the influence of drugs, was lodged in cells overnight and released without a charge the next morning.
Later that day, February 4th, police received more information that led to them drafting a search warrant for a residence on Crocus Road in Rossburn.
When police executed the search warrant, they found 188 grams of cocaine, 732 grams of meth, two loaded restricted firearms, ammunition, cell phones, and other drug-related paraphernalia.
Police arrested a 23-year-old female and a 25-year-old male, both from Winnipeg. They were taken into custody and later released for court scheduled for May 23, 2023, in Rossburn. An investigation is underway.
