Winnipeg police shut down a drug-trafficking ring in Transcona earlier this month.

The East District Station Community Support Unit and a member of the Canine Unit became involved in an investigation into drug trafficking in the 400 block of Yale Avenue East. Police applied for and were granted a Controlled Drugs and Substances Search Warrant.

The warrant was executed around 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 3, and a male was arrested inside. An adult female and male were seen leaving before the warrant was executed, but were arrested without incident close to the home.

After police searched the home, officers discovered 15.5 grams of crack cocaine with an estimated street value of $3,000, a small amount of marijuana, and packaging material.
Winnipeg residents Dustin Jeremy Barker and Jessie George, both 26, were detained in custody.

Both were charged with possession of a scheduled substance for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine and possession of a scheduled substance – cannabis (marijuana) for their alleged involvement. Barker was also charged with fail to comply condition recognizance and driving while disqualified, while George had three counts of fail to comply condition recognizance added for their alleged involvement.

A 32-year-old woman of Winnipeg was charged with possession of a scheduled substance for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine and possession of a scheduled substance – cannabis (marijuana) for her alleged involvement. She was released on a promise to appear.
