Three people are facing charges, following a drug bust in Portage la Prairie Friday afternoon. The Portage la Prairie RCMP executed a search warrant at a residence on 6th Street North West at approximately 1:30. With assistance from the Amaranth detachment, three adults including two males and a female were arrested for possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

Investigators seized what's described as "A significant amount" of cocaine, a large amount of cash, a firearm, and other evidence of trafficking from within the home. The matter remains under investigation, so exact charges and the names of the accused aren't being released at this time.
