“This is a significant drug seizure in relation to drugs destined for Bunibonibee Cree Nation,” RCMP Cpl. Ian Lenartowich said.
“(It’s) a direct result of the efforts put forth by First Nation safety officers. These drugs not only fuel addiction and crime but cause harm to families and the community.”
Police continue to investigate.
