Oxford House RCMP have seized more than 279-thousand dollars worth of suspected illicit drugs following three incidents at the Bunibonibee Cree Nation airport.

Police say two women from Oxford House were arrested on October 16th in separate incidents just hours apart. An 80-gram quantity of cocaine was seized from a 29-year-old woman, while a 30-year-old woman was found concealing 31 grams of crack cocaine and 11 grams of cocaine.

Two days later, officers seized more than 182 grams of crack cocaine, along with cellphones and drug paraphernalia, from luggage flagged during a routine search. A 21-year-old man from Edmonton was arrested.

All three suspects face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and were released on court orders or undertakings.
