On August 20, 2025, at 1:30 pm, The Pas RCMP received a report of suspicious activity in Wanless. A vehicle was observed in the community, going from place to place, that did not appear familiar.
Officers attended the area and began patrols to locate the vehicle. As officers were travelling into Wanless, the vehicle was observed leaving a local business. A traffic stop was initiated on Highway 10 N, just outside the community.
There were four occupants within the vehicle. The driver, a 26-year-old male from Winnipeg, and his passenger, a 21-year-old male from Québec, were arrested immediately for having outstanding warrants out for their arrest. The two other passengers were released on scene.
Further investigation led officers to ask for the assistance of Police Service Dog Phlex and his handler to conduct a walk around the vehicle. Phlex was able to confirm the presence of drugs inside. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of over 200 grams of cocaine with an estimated community street value of $40,000.
The driver, Keanu Oliveira, and his passenger, Jonathan Henry, have been charged with Possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine and they have been remanded into custody.
The Pas RCMP continue to investigate
