Brandon Police Seize One Kilogram of Cocaine from Ontario Man

On August 7^th, 2026, at approximately 3:46 a.m., police initiated a traffic stop on Kasiurak Bay. A 29-year-old male passenger in the vehicle, which was operating as an Uber from Winnipeg, initially provided police with a false name. Officers subsequently developed grounds to detain the male. During the investigation, two Ontario identification cards were located. One was determined to be counterfeit, while the other belonged to the accused. A records check revealed the accused was bound by a Release Order that included an absolute curfew requiring him to remain at an address in St. Catharines, Ontario.

Following the arrest, a search incident to arrest located an approximately one-kilogram brick of cocaine in the accused’s travel bag. Officers also seized a second cellular phone, which constituted an additional breach of the Release Order, as well as approximately $1,100 in cash.

During the booking process, officers located several smaller packages containing an unidentified substance concealed in the pockets of the shorts the accused was wearing underneath his pants. The accused was arrested and held in Brandon Police Service custody. He was scheduled to appear in court on the morning of August 7th, 2026.
