Thompson RCMP Crime Suppression Unit finds drugs and cash on traffic stop

On November 8, 2026, at 12:48 a.m., Thompson RCMP Crime Suppression Unit officers were on patrol when they observed a vehicle parked in a lot on Laval. The back door of the vehicle was open, and there was no driver.

 

Officers approached the vehicle and observed a male and female in the back seat along with several bags. While speaking with the passengers, a female who identified herself as the driver, came out of a nearby residence.

 

The initial investigation revealed that the female passenger was breaching conditions, and that the male passenger had provided police with a fraudulent name. Both were taken into custody.

 

A subsequent search of bags resulted in the discovery of approximately 265 grams of cocaine and Canadian currency.

 

Reyshaun Lawrence, 20, from Hamilton ON, was charged with the following:

  • Possession for the purpose of trafficking;
  • Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000;
  • Fail to comply with undertaking condition x 2; and

Joelyne Moore, 20, from Cross Lake, was charged with the following:

  • Possession for the purpose of trafficking;
  • Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000; and
  • Fail to comply with undertaking

 

Both were remanded.

 

The 30-year-old driver from Cross Lake is facing charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime. She was later released on an undertaking.
