Ste Rose du Lac RCMP has arrested a male for Possession for the purpose of trafficking in Crane River First Nation.

On July 5, 2025, at 11:08 pm, officers were conducting traffic enforcement on Road 481, in Crane River First Nation, when they attempted to pull over an unregistered pickup truck. The vehicle did not stop immediately and instead pulled into a driveway.

A male driver exited the vehicle, with a bag over his shoulder, and attempted to walk away from police. Further investigation led officers to arrest the 17-year-old driver from Crane River First Nation.

The resulting search revealed he was in possession of individually packaged substances, that appear to be marihuana and crack cocaine, in addition to Canadian currency.

The 17-year-old male has been charged for Possession for the purpose of trafficking. He was released pending a future court date.
