A call about a disturbance at a coffee shop led to more than a half-dozen unrelated charges for a Winnipeg man, police say.
Officers were called to the Beaverhill Boulevard shop around 5:40 p.m. Monday in response to reports of an intoxicated man causing a disturbance.
Police say the suspect was spotted nearby and arrested without incident, but a vehicle in the vicinity caught the attention of officers.
The car, a 2023 Chrysler Pacifica, had been reported stolen from a Pembina Highway auto rental business, and police determined that the man had been seen driving dangerously throughout the Southdale area before arriving at the coffee shop.
A search of the stolen vehicle turned up a CO2-powered handgun.
A 21-year-old man is now in custody facing numerous charges, including possessing a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon or prohibited device, possessing property obtained by crime and multiple counts of failing to comply with conditions.
