As officers approached the vehicle, two individuals attempted to flee the scene, discarding what was suspected to be illicit drugs. Both were swiftly apprehended and taken into custody. A thorough search of the residence and vehicle led to the seizure of:

- Approximately 300 grams of methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of $3,000
- Drug packaging materials
- Personal identification
- $230 in Canadian currency
The suspects, 46-year-old Jade Ronald Pretty and a 40-year-old female, both residents of Winnipeg, are facing serious charges. Pretty has been charged with:
- Possession of a Scheduled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking – Methamphetamine (two counts)
- Possession of a Scheduled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking – Cocaine
- Possession of Proceeds of Property Obtained by Crime Under $5000
Pretty has been detained in custody following the charges.
