61 kilos of cocaine found stashed in SUV: Manitoba RCMP
Manitoba RCMP say they seized a large quantity of cocaine from an SUV’s hidden compartment late last month.
On March 29, police pulled over the vehicle on the Trans-Canada Highway in the Rural Municipality of Reynolds, and they say a search turned up a “sophisticated aftermarket compartment” containing 61 kilograms of cocaine.
