On February 24, 2026, at 4 a.m., Steinbach RCMP were conducting traffic enforcement in La Broquerie when they observed a mini-van driving slowly in a residential area. The vehicle was observed going into a driveway but then left shortly after, continuing to drive slowly.
This suspicious behaviour led officers to initiate a traffic stop. Officers learned through police checks that the driver was breaching his curfew as per his release conditions. The driver was arrested and officers observed drugs inside the vehicle.
The 29-year-old driver and his 34-year-old passenger were arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking. Officers subsequently found what is believed to be cocaine, crack cocaine and methamphetamine as well as Canadian currency, other drug paraphernalia, a home-made conducted energy weapon and break-in instruments inside the vehicle.
Jacob Reimer, 29, of Steinbach has been charged with:
- Possession of break-in instruments;
- Carrying a concealed weapon;
- Possession of weapon for dangerous purpose;
- Possession of prohibited weapon;
- Fail to comply with conditions of a release order x6; and
- Possession of controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking x3.
Wayne Town, 34, from Ste. Anne, has been charged with:
- Possession of controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking x3.
Both were remanded into custody. Steinbach RCMP continue to investigate.
