At around 7 pm on March 29th, the RCMP Roving Traffic Unit stopped a westbound vehicle on Highway 1 in the RM of Reynolds, just east of Winnipeg.

A search of the vehicle unveiled a sophisticated aftermarket compartment in the rear of the SUV, that was holding 61 kg of cocaine. 

No estimated street value of the drugs was provided.

The driver, a 29-year-old man from Alberta, was taken into custody and the drugs were seized at the time of the arrest.

No charges have been laid as of yet and RCMP continue to investigate.
