CFB SHILO, MAN. - After a joint investigation by the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS) and the RCMP, with assistance of local military police, charges have been laid in relation to drug cultivation in the vicinity of the base.
Jeffrey Dwayne Riley has been charged under Section 5(2), trafficking in a substance, of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), and Section 7 (2)(b), production of a substance, of the CDSA. A warrant for arrest has been issued for Thomas Edward Borecky. Neither accused has any known affiliation to the CF or the Department of National Defence (DND) and no military personnel are believed to have been involved.
An investigation was launched after military police with the CFB Shilo detachment received a complaint of suspicious activity in the base training area. Further investigation by the NIS drug enforcement team and the RCMP revealed two marihuana-grow operations along the Assiniboine River, one located on DND property.
Both grow operations – including more than 275 marihuana plants with an estimated street value of more than $400,000 – were destroyed.
The NIS is an independent military police unit with the mandate to investigate serious and sensitive matters in relation to National Defence property, DND employees and CF personnel serving in Canada and around the world.
