Eight people were arrested after police searched a home on Lathlin Avenue in The Pas, Manitoba earlier this month, seizing a loaded handgun, ammunition, and suspected cocaine as part of a drug trafficking investigation.
On June 10, 2026, officers with the Manitoba Integrated Law Enforcement Team North, along with local RCMP and several specialized police units, executed a search warrant at the residence. Four men and four women are now facing multiple firearm-related charges.
A loaded handgun, ammunition, and a quantity of suspected cocaine were found inside the home, police said. Investigators also say one of those arrested was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for violating parole, and another was wanted for breaching a conditional sentence order.
This raid is the latest in a string of drug enforcement operations in the area. In January 2025, The Pas RCMP searched a home on Hone Street, arresting seven people and seizing a prohibited firearm, ammunition, and methamphetamine. In March 2022, a search on Tremaudan Avenue led to 11 arrests and the seizure of cocaine, bear spray, a stolen gun, and cash. More recently, a three-day joint operation in February 2026 by the Manitoba RCMP and Manitoba First Nations Police Service targeted drug trafficking and gang activity in The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation, resulting in five arrests and the seizure of cocaine, methamphetamine, ammunition, cash, and drug paraphernalia.
The investigation into the June 10 raid remains ongoing. The identities of those charged have not been released.
