This past Thursday, Oxford House RCMP received a report from First Nation Safety Officer’s that a 34-year-old female, who was attempting to board a flight to Winnipeg, had been searched prior to her boarding the aircraft which led to the discovery of two sealed packages believed to contain a large amount of Canadian currency.

The 34-year-old female was placed under arrest and transported to the Oxford House RCMP Detachment and turned over to police.

The two sealed packages, which are believed to contain approximately $16,500 in cash, were turned over to RCMP and seized.

The 34-year-old female was later released for a court appearance scheduled for January 15, 2026, in the community where she will face a charge of Laundering Proceeds or Crime.

Oxford House RCMP continue to investigate.
