Manitoba RCMP have interrupted a major international drug trafficking network importing large quantities of illicit drugs into the province from Ontario.
The investigation led to the seizure of 81 kilograms of cocaine which has an estimated street value of $7.6 million. $1.5 million in cash was also confiscated.
RCMP have arrested and charged 41-year-old Stephen Ferenc Stumpf, of Peterborough, Ontario with Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking and Possession of Proceeds of Crime Over $5000
Superintendent Darcy Fleury with the Manitoba RCMP says this cocaine seizure is believed to be the largest of its kind in Manitoba history.
“It will undoubtedly have a major impact on the organized crime and illicit drug landscape within Manitoba,” said Fleury.
The Investigation continues.
