Winnipeg organized crime unit targets inter-provincial drug trafficking network

On Dec. 23, authorities from the Winnipeg police, the OPP and Manitoba Finance and Taxation disclosed the results of Project Highland, which began in April 2019.

This collaborative effort resulted in the seizure of millions of dollars' worth of illegal drugs from an inter-provincial organized crime network. The raid took place Dec. 18.

The raid resulted in one of the largest illegal tobacco seizures Manitoba has ever seen, allegedly. Authorities also broke down the value of the items seized from the raid from the inter-provincial organized crime drug ring.

Around 160 police officers worked on the Project Highland operation.
