Two Selkirk men are facing a string of charges after RCMP executed separate search warrants as part of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking in the community.
On May 29, 2025, police searched a home on Morris Avenue, where they seized approximately 30 grams of cocaine, Canadian cash, prohibited weapons, and other evidence consistent with drug trafficking.
Cameron Hemminger, 54, of Selkirk, was arrested and charged with possession of property obtained by crime, possession of prohibited devices while subject to two lifetime prohibition orders, and possession for the purpose of trafficking. He has since been released pending a future court date.
A second search was carried out on June 6, 2025, at a residence on McLean Avenue. Officers seized approximately 84 grams of cocaine, quantities of methamphetamine and suspected fentanyl, along with a collection of weapons and ammunition. Among them was a loaded firearm later confirmed to be prohibited and stolen.
Daniel Keep, 56, of Selkirk, was arrested at the scene and faces eight firearms-related charges in addition to possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine and fentanyl, possession of property obtained by crime, and four counts of failing to comply with a release order. He remains in custody.
The investigations were led by the Selkirk RCMP General Investigation Section, with assistance from General Patrol officers and the Manitoba East District Crime Reduction and Enforcement Support Team.
