On September 1, 2026, Brandon Gomez-Ouimet of Montreal, Quebec was arrested on a Canada wide warrant, in relation to a cocaine trafficking investigation conducted by the Iqaluit RCMP’s General Investigation Section (GIS).

Gomez-Ouimet has been charged with:

• Trafficking a Controlled Substance (Cocaine), contrary to Section 5(1) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act

He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear before the Nunavut Court of Justice in Iqaluit on September 8^th, 2026. 

Two kilograms of cocaine have been removed from our territory; approximately $400,000 in street value. Preventing illicit drugs from reaching Nunavut communities remains a priority, and the RCMP remain committed to identifying and disrupting those involved in drug trafficking.
