During the stop, officers formed the grounds and detained the occupants for a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act investigation.

A search yielded over 100 grams of suspected cocaine and crack cocaine which was then seized and the driver arrested.

26-year-old Sicetus Akhinagba of Brampton, Ontario was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and was held in custody to appear in Portage La Prairie court  today.

The 3 other occupants of the vehicle were released without charges.
