The RCMP is looking for a Fairford woman after a drug trafficking investigation led to the discovery of cocaine and weapons at a home along Highway 6.
The Manitoba East District Crime Reduction Enforcement Support Team (CREST) began looking into suspected cocaine trafficking at the residence on August 18. Just days later, on August 22, officers executed a search warrant for the property with support from the Gypsumville RCMP.
No one was home at the time of the search, but police say drugs were found hidden in various compartments throughout the house.
Officers also seized several weapons, including a rifle with a loaded extended magazine, brass knuckles, and replica air guns designed to look like handguns.
RCMP have issued a warrant for Brandi Woodhouse, 34, of Fairford, who resides at the home. She is wanted on several charges, including possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, unsafe firearm storage, possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition, and possession of weapons for dangerous purposes.
Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the Gypsumville RCMP at 204-659-2682, or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.
