Winnipeg Police Say an Organized Crime Unit Investigation Focused on a Satinwood Place Residence in Southglen Resulted in the Seizure of More Than 26 Kilograms of Cocaine and Approximately $750,000 in Canadian Currency; Haleel Jamal Hidara, 40, Is Charged With Seven Counts and Samantha Darcy Gunn, 32, With Six (October 6, 2026)

The Winnipeg Police Service says an Organized Crime Unit investigation focused on a residence in the 1–99 block of Satinwood Place, in the city’s Southglen neighbourhood, resulted in the seizure of more than 26 kilograms of cocaine, which the release values at $1.5 million, and approximately $750,000 in Canadian currency. Haleel Jamal Hidara, 40, is charged with seven counts and Samantha Darcy Gunn, 32, with six. The release, published on October 6, 2026, says a man was arrested leaving the residence with 3 kilograms of cocaine on September 16, 2026 and that a woman was arrested at a separate location; it does not separately date the woman’s arrest or the search warrant. It names no criminal organization, street gang or outlaw motorcycle club. Both accused are presumed innocent and none of the counts has been tested in court.

What the Release Describes

According to the release, the investigation focused on a residence in the 1–99 block of Satinwood Place. It says that on September 16, 2026 a man was arrested leaving the residence with 3 kilograms of cocaine in his possession, and that a woman was arrested at a separate location. The release does not say which of the two charged people is the man and which is the woman.

The release says that, with assistance from the Tactical Support Unit and Central and East District Community Support Units, a search warrant was executed at the residence, and it lists these items as seized: 23.5 kilograms of cocaine, approximately $750,000 Canadian currency, a conducted energy weapon, prescription pills, a vacuum sealer, and drug packaging materials and drug paraphernalia. The release does not give a date for the execution of the search warrant and does not say whether it came before or after the two arrests.

The release gives the three quantities as 3 kilograms, 23.5 kilograms and “more than 26 kilograms”; it does not say how the total is composed. It gives the value of the cocaine as $1.5 million and does not say how that figure was calculated. The conducted energy weapon is the only weapon in the seized-items list, and the release does not describe any firearm, firearm part or ammunition among the items seized. It does not say which item, person or address any count relates to.

The Counts as the Release Words Them

Two of the counts against Hidara are worded “Possession of Firearm, Restricted/Prohibited Weapon, Firearm Part or Ammunition Contrary to Prohibition Order.” A count is an allegation, not a finding. Gunn’s list includes “Assault with Weapon Against Intimate Partner”; the release does not describe the circumstances of that count.

Haleel Jamal Hidara and Samantha Darcy Gunn are presumed innocent, and none of the thirteen counts has been tested in court. Every allegation here is the Winnipeg Police Service’s, as worded in its release, which is the source for the allegations. No gang, club, crime family or cartel label has been used, because the force used none. This file is outside the primary footprint, so the beat qualifier is named concretely: the investigation was the Winnipeg Police Service Organized Crime Unit’s, a named anti-organized-crime unit, and the release reports more than 26 kilograms of cocaine and approximately $750,000 in seized Canadian currency, which meets the quantity test. The Tactical Support Unit and the district Community Support Units are tactical and patrol support and are not offered as the qualifier. The release mentions no publication ban.
