RCMP has laid several charges in connection with an unrelated animal control call in Virden.

Around 9:30 AM last Tuesday, officers attended an address in the town and inside located two females and a 38-year-old male in the living room who had no permission to be inside the home, and they were placed under arrest for breaking and entering.

After observing baggies of drugs, a subsequent search of the suspects and residence led to the seizure of additional drugs, illicit pills, and drug-related paraphernalia.

 Thirty-eight-year-old Bryon Gardner of Virden, 41-year-old Rashelle Studer, and 31-year-old Katherine Tomms, both from the RM of Wallace-Woodworth, face several charges including breaking and entering, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of property obtained by crime.

A fourth suspect, a 45-year-old male, was located and arrested in the basement and faces similar charges but was released for a court appearance scheduled for February 7th, in Brandon.
