What started as one man making threats led to a full-blown drugs and firearms bust in The Pas, Man.
Early Wednesday morning, RCMP said it responded to a fight at a home in the northern Manitoba city after officers were told a man was uttering threats.
Police said when arresting him, they saw firearms parts, drugs, and drug equipment in the home. Officers said they seized the parts, which included barrels, a stock, bullets and magazines.
Authorities said the residence was then secured, and a search warrant was obtained under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
Mounties said when officers searched the home, they found and seized a crossbow, homemade weapons, around 40 grams of cocaine, “a small quantity of meth,” prescription medication, and more drug paraphernalia.
The 30-year-old suspect has been charged with:
- Uttering threats
- Possession for the purpose of trafficking
- Weapons possession contrary to an order
He is still behind bars, RCMP said.
A 28-year-old woman also faces possession for the purpose of trafficking, police said, but was released from custody with an upcoming court date.
The investigation continues.
