A 35-year-old Rosenort man is among four people being charged in relation to the importation and trafficking of cocaine.

Frank Banman was charged with conspiracy to traffick cocaine and possession of a controlled substance, following a 2-year investigation by the RCMP that concluded Thursday with the execution of a search warrant at a rural property near Rosenort.

The evidence gathered revealed a criminal group moving large amounts of cocaine from Mexico into Canada.

Police seized over two kilograms of cocaine, also identifying sophisticated concealment methods which enabled the cocaine shipments to cross international borders undetected.

Search warrants were also executed Thursday in the Leamington area of Ontario, which lead to three people being charged.

“The result of this joint investigation demonstrates that provincial and international borders do not insulate organized crime from prosecution." said Inspector Tim Olmstead, of the Manitoba RCMP. 'This also re-enforces the fact that the RCMP and its partner agencies work effectively together to keep illicit drugs out of our communities."

The investigation is ongoing.
