MISHKEEGOGAMANG FIRST NATION — A load of drugs and cash were seized by NAPS during a recent investigation. 

Three suspects were arrested by NAPS (Nishnawbe Aski Police Service) officers when a search warrant was executed at a home in Mishkeegogamang on Nov. 23. 

Officers from NAPS and OPP entered the home on James Road and located three suspects inside. 

A search of the home led to the seizure of a quantity of suspected cocaine, cash, and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking. 

A 28-year-old man from Winnipeg was arrested along with a 28-year-old and 47-year-old from Mishkeegogamang First Nation; all are facing drug-related charges. 

The Winnipeg man was remanded into custody with a future court appearance date. The other two accused have been released with future court rates. 

It is Newswatch policy not to name suspects whose case we do not expect to follow through to its conclusion in court.
