On the morning of April 11, 2025, members of the Medicine Hat Police Service’s Patrol Section conducted a vehicle stop on the Trans Canada Highway after observing that the licence plate on the vehicle did not match the registration records.

During the interaction with the driver and passengers, officers observed contraband cigarettes and drug paraphernalia in plain view.  A subsequent search then located fentanyl inside the vehicle as well.

Resulting from this investigation, three occupants of the vehicle, all from Winnipeg, Manitoba, including a 34-year-old woman, 36-year-old man, and a 50-year-old man were arrested and charged with the following.

• Possession for the purpose of trafficking
• Possession of unmarked cigarettes

All three individuals are currently being held for a Judicial Interim Hearing to speak to their release.
