Two teens and one adult from northwestern Manitoba are facing serious drug and weapons charges after an arrest early Sunday on Minegoziibe Anishinabe First Nation.
Manitoba RCMP said a vehicle was pulled over for a traffic stop in the community around 3:15 a.m., when officers noticed drug paraphernalia in plain view.
A search of the vehicle turned up crack cocaine and illicit cannabis, as well as a sawed-off shotgun, a handgun, black ski masks, and cash, police said.
The three suspects, an 18-year-old from Dauphin, a 16-year-old from Duck Bay, and a 15-year-old from Camperville, were all taken into custody. They each face charges of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of cannabis for the purpose of selling, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possessing a weapon obtained by crime, and other firearms offences.
