A pair of suspects are facing more than a dozen gun and drug charges between them after an early morning arrest by Winnipeg police Thursday.

Police said they were called around 4:30 a.m. about a driver waving a gun out the window in a Maryland Street parking lot.

Officers spotted the vehicle going through a drive-thru and arrested the driver and a passenger. A search of the vehicle turned up an imitation handgun, along with a large quantity of drugs, with a street value of around $350,000.
