WINNIPEG -- Homes across Winnipeg have been raided by Winnipeg police, after being identified as a part of a “highly sophisticated interprovincial crime network.”
Police confirmed several homes were raided Wednesday morning in Winnipeg. The raids are a part of a joint service investigating called Project Highland, including the WPS, the Ontario Provincial Police and the Province of Manitoba Finance and Taxation.
Const. Rob Carver said police executed several simultaneous search warrants throughout the city, rural Manitoba and in Ontario.
The investigation was led by Winnipeg police and the organized crime unit along with the guns and gangs unit.
Carver said, “There is still work to be done.”
More details are expected to be released Monday when police hold a news conference.
