Pair charged after 13 guns, 20K rounds of ammunition seized: Manitoba RCMP
Two West St. Paul men, aged 38 and 48, were arrested after police searched their home and seized 13 firearms, including two sawed-off weapons.
Two men were arrested in West St. Paul, Manitoba after police seized more than a dozen firearms and 20,000 rounds of ammunition from their homes, according to the Manitoba RCMP. The arrests came after the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) shared information with police, prompting the Manitoba Integrated Law Enforcement Team (MILET) to conduct searches on Pipeline Road and Griffin Way on September 11.
The RCMP seized 13 firearms, including two sawed-off guns, and several prohibited high-capacity magazines altered to hold additional rounds. Both men arrested face multiple charges, including possession of firearms without a license, possession of weapons obtained through crime, and tampering with serial numbers. The RCMP stated that the successful collaboration between law enforcement and the CBSA allowed for the removal of illegal firearms from the community.
