The Manitoba Integrated Violent Offender Apprehension Unit (MIVOAU) have recently arrested 24 violent and prolific offenders in four northern Manitoba communities. The unit, consisting of RCMP and Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) officers, targets the most violent, dangerous and prolific offenders – including suspects in serious and violent crimes and individuals who are wanted on outstanding arrest warrants.
From March 9-14, 2026, MIVOAU officers deployed to Garden Hill, Wasagamack, Red Sucker Lake and St. Theresa Point First Nations to locate and apprehend violent offenders – all of whom were wanted on outstanding warrants. MIVOAU’s efforts were supported by Island Lake RCMP officers, Manitoba Sheriffs, Corps of Commissionaires and local First Nation Safety Officers, who provided information and insight.
Ten new charges for breaches and firearm offences were laid as a result of MIVOAU’s work.
