A 58-year-old man is in custody, Manitoba RCMP say, after a search of a Riverton-area home turned up weapons and drug paraphernalia.
Officers from the Gimli detachment were called to the home on the evening of Sept. 20, where they seized nine firearms — one of which was loaded — as well as cash and ammunition.
Police said the man was in possession of several baggies when he was arrested in a bathroom, and tests conducted at the scene indicated the presence of cocaine on surfaces in that room.
