FOG BLOG JUSTICE LOG: WINNIPEG POLICE SEIZE 63 KG OF METH IN LARGEST BUST EVER:

Police seize 63 kg of methamphetamine in largest Winnipeg meth bust ever 2 Alberta men arrested after Winnipeg apartment searched last week, police say Two men from Alberta have been arrested after 63 kilograms of methamphetamine and smaller amounts of three other drugs were seized at an apartment in southwest Winnipeg last week, police say.

The methamphetamine bust is the single largest seizure of the drug the Winnipeg Police Service has ever made, Insp. Elton Hall said at a Thursday news conference.

"It's alarming that there's this much methamphetamine on the table in front of me. Hopefully we don't see this trend continue," Hall said.

"But there is a lot of methamphetamine, not only on the streets in Winnipeg, but across Canada right now."

Police found the drugs during a search on Oct. 12 at an apartment suite at 835 Sterling Lyon Parkway, which Hall said was rented out but not to either of the men arrested.

In addition to the 63 kilograms of methamphetamine, which police estimate is worth $6.3 million, police seized 3.4 ounces of fentanyl (which police estimate is worth $15,000), 6.6 ounces of cocaine (estimated value $13,000) and two litres of GHB (estimated value $4,000) — sometimes called liquid ecstasy and known as a "date rape drug."
