Steinbach RCMP were called to a shed in the RM of Tache on Dec. 23, at 7:45 p.m. Police said a man driving a suspicious vehicle had entered the property in the Manitoba community.

An investigation later found that the vehicle was reported stolen out of Winnipeg, and a search of the vehicle led to the seizure of what police said was stolen property, including a stolen sawed-off shotgun.

At the residence, an off-duty officer confronted the suspect and restrained him until RCMP officers arrived, according to police. A search of the suspect yielded a knife in his possession. The 32-year-old man from Ste. Anne was arrested, along with a 36-year-old woman located in the vehicle.

The two face multiple charges including the possession of a prohibited firearm, breaking and entering, theft, and possession of stolen property.
