A 42 year old man faces a trafficking charge after the Portage la Prairie RCMP's General Investigation Service, and uniformed members, raided a home on 4th Street Northwest last Friday. The house is about a block from Portage Collegiate.

They seized what's described as a substantial amount of marijuana.

Baron Colin Kakewash was one of three people arrested during the operation, and could be sent to prison for 2 to 5 years, if convicted.
