Winnipeg police seized an assortment of illegal drugs -- including heroin and a date-rape drug -- and other items during weekend raids targeting a cell of alleged mid-level drug dealers.
Four men are facing charges in connection with Saturday's bust, which police said is a rare one because of the variety of drugs found.
"They basically have any kind of drug (available)," said Staff Sgt. Bud Guest of the street crime unit, which arrested the men and seized drugs valued at approximately $250,000.
Police also found ecstasy pills and powder, psilocybin (magic mushrooms), marijuana and ketamine -- known for its use as a date-rape drug -- as well as three handguns, a Kevlar vest and $5,200 in cash at a residence in the 900-block of Lipton Street and two suites at an apartment in the first 100-block of Hargrave Street.
The street crime unit began investigating the drug cell after receiving a tip last week.
Guest said the alleged dealers were fairly well-organized, but it does not appear they are members of a street gang.
He said the cell was getting its drugs from sources outside of Winnipeg, but cops don't know how long it was in operation.
The alleged dealers kept records of their clients and police seized those documents along with drug paraphernalia, a cash counter and a safe.
Street crime unit Const. Rob Duttchen said the origin of the handguns -- a Beretta 96D .40-calibre, a Sturm, Ruger & Co. .357-calibre and a Sig Sauer 9-mm -- is not known.
The Beretta's serial number was professionally milled to remove it and it had a laser sight mounted on its frame, Duttchen said.
He said police seized ammunition for those weapons and for firearms they did not find in the raids.
Christian Basarowich, 28, is facing drug- and weapons-related charges and is in custody, police said. Three others -- a 22-year-old man and two 21-year-old men -- were released on a promise to appear in court and have not been formally charged.
Saturday's arrests capped a fruitful month for the street crime unit, which seized more than $340,000 in illegal drugs, eight firearms -- three handguns, two sawed-off shotguns and an assault rifle -- and $40,000 in cash in September, Guest said.
BIG ASSORTMENT
A look at some of the drugs (estimated value is in brackets), weapons and other items seized from three residences on Saturday:

- 389 rounds of ammunition
- One Kevlar vest
- Drug paraphernalia, including bongs, pipes and a coffee grinder
- Papers containing personal information of alleged clients, cellphones, a bank card, cash counter and safe

Ketamine isn't used as a date rape drug, is it? I've never heard that.

Damn, those are some expensive shrooms. That's a little over 4 lbs and that price just seems a little stretched...way beyond what street prices around here would land. Not that I would know that information.

Price per 1/8 oz (3.5g)
- Heroin, $1225
- Cocaine, $150
- Ecstasy, $20 (per pill)
- Ecstasy, $233.10
- Magic mushrooms, $52.50
- Marijuana, $52.53
- Ketamine, $701.17
Dam some drug dealer is ripping these cops off, if that is what they think this shit is worth. 
I would have said the Canadian $ is not worth shit, but thanks to Bush it is the same as American $ now.
And if those are the prices in Canada, than I am glad to be in the US where prices are cheep, and my friendly neighborhood drug dealer throws in a frequent shopper discount every now and again.

Prices per eighth here in Canada are more like this IME: H - Dunno, Coke - ~$180, E - $10 or $15/pill, though they often can be found for less. When you buy MDMA powder it goes for $60-100/g so $210-300/3.5g Shrooms - ~$15 though much less if you buy a larger quantity. MJ - $~25, but varies. K - ~$180.
The cops seem to have massively inflated some values but some are actually fairly accurate...

Embellishing the facts as in adding ornamentaly ficticious facts is a common practice that detracts from the credibility of the witness to the unbiased.

No it's not. Actually the latest studies (which aren't new) found that alcohol is the #1 date rape drug and probably accounts for almost all date-rape cases.

Ecstasy stash in Mr Potato Head
Quote:
A NOVEL attempt to import 1000 ecstasy tablets in the back of a Mr Potato Head toy, has been foiled by Customs officers at Sydney's International Mail Centre. Officers selected a parcel of children's toys for examination, and upon opening the panel at the rear of Mr Potato Head, found about 300g of MDMA tabs worth up to $50,000.
1000 pills = $50000 $50 a pill - They had better be bloody fantastic!!!!

Being a Canadian with more than just his dick in his hand, I can assure you that this harms us all. The Canadian dollar was worth a lot more to everyone when it was lower in comparison to the American dollar. This hurts our exports to the States and your imports from Canada. It even hurts small businesses up here, as people just order things online from the States instead of getting it at local shops and what not.

How's that exactly? The president has such little influence on the American currency in the short term that it could only be considered negligible. Long term, even less. I would love for you to enlighten me as to how Bush managed to cause the appreciation of Canada's currency relative to all the other major currencies.
And yes, those drug prices are quite inflated.

Everything is Extreamly over priced in this list I should know because the guy accused of this crime is my best friend. The police here have the total wrong estimated prices most of time the actual street price in less than half as much as the polices estimated price. He goes to trial on monday after already spending 2 years in jail with little to no evidence. FUCK THE POLICE!
