Kilo of meth seized in traffic stop

Winnipeg police found more than a kilogram of methamphetamine in a vehicle on Wednesday after pulling over a woman who had been under investigation for drug trafficking since last month.

Winnipeg Police Service guns, gangs and drug investigators began looking into the woman in August.

On Wednesday, just before 3 p.m., officers pulled over a Mazda at Fermor Street and Murdock Road, and arrested the woman.

Police found 1.07 kilos of meth and about $275 in cash in the vehicle.

A 37-year-old woman faces charges of possession of meth for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime under $5,000. She was let out on an undertaking.
