Project Roasted: Winnipeg Drug Bust | Vancouver News
Description
In a major Winnipeg drug bust called Project Roasted, a high-level cocaine trafficker, a nightclub owner, and a divorced father all pleaded guilty—revealing how deeply entrenched the operation was. The probe nearly collapsed when police feared corruption by officer Elston Bostock, later sentenced to seven years, whose phone revealed damning photos and texts linking him to criminals seeking police intel. Evidence uncovered included drugs, cash, and paraphernalia at the trafficker’s home; the nightclub owner, who moved 20kg of cocaine, got seven years after citing financial desperation. The father, found with crack, received probation. Two others had charges stayed. The trafficker faces up to eight years, shocking even the court over how ordinary lives became entangled in this dangerous web.
