Thompson RCMP say a vehicle check on Brandon Crescent has led to multiple arrests, along with the seizure of a firearm and drugs.

 

Police say officers with the newly formed Crime Suppression Unit and the Thompson detachment came across a parked vehicle with three people inside around 1:40 a.m. on June 21st.

 

One of the passengers, 24-year-old Noah Thomas, was recognized by police and arrested for allegedly breaching court-imposed conditions. Officers say a search led to the seizure of a small amount of cocaine.

 

The 44-year-old driver was also arrested, while a second passenger, 25-year-old Ronald Lepage, allegedly tried to run away before being arrested nearby.

 

RCMP say a search of the vehicle turned up a shotgun, ammunition, cocaine, and a small amount of cash.

 

Thomas, Lepage, and the driver are facing several charges, including possession for the purpose of trafficking and firearms-related offences.

 

Thomas and Lepage were remanded into custody, while the driver was released for a future court date.
