A Winnipegger was one of five people charged in Kenora, Ont., on Thursday after the OPP seized over $24,000 in meth during a traffic stop.

Police said the charges stem from an investigation, which resulted in a traffic stop in the north end of the city.

During the traffic stop officers seized what's suspected to be:

  • Crystal meth with a street value of $24,400,
  • Over $3,000 in Canadian money;
  • A gun;
  • Drug paraphernalia.

Police arrested Winnipeg’s Tyler Mitchell, as well as Katlynd Cronley-Polkinghorne, Kristianna Gray, Wayne Kejick and Shelly Peetwayway, who are all from Ontario. They have been charged with drug, weapons and firearm-related offences.

The accused went to bail court on Friday at the Kenora Courthouse.
