Two charged after RCMP seize cocaine, crack in Meadow Lake

Feb 24, 2026 | 10:37 AM

Two individuals have been charged after Meadow Lake RCMP seized cocaine and crack from a residence.  

In late December, RCMP seized methamphetamine, cocaine and weapons at a residence in Meadow Lake. Two people were arrested, including a man who had previously been released on conditions. He allowed officers to search his person, vehicle or residence if they had reasonable suspicion that he may be in possession of a controlled substance.  

Based on continued investigation, RCMP’s Meadow Lake Crime Reduction Team searched a residence on Seventh Street E. in Meadow Lake on Feb. 20. Officers located and seized approximately 135 grams of cocaine, approximately 19 grams of crack cocaine, about 240 pharmaceutical-style pills, a sum of cash, and trafficking paraphernalia.  

A man and woman were arrested at the residence. During the time of the arrest, the woman provided a false name to officers.  

As a result of continued investigation, 28-year-old Michael Ross from Meadow Lake is charged with:
