OTTAWA — Winnipeg police announced Wednesday what they called the largest drug bust in Manitoba history: 33 people arrested, 174 criminal charges, more than 525 kilograms of cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl seized, $825,000 in cash recovered, and a two-year investigation — Project Puma — that required 14 partner agencies spanning four provinces. The numbers are staggering. They are also, by the assessment of the lead investigator himself, incomplete.
