Dauphin, Man. seizure of drugs and guns leads to arrest of multiple suspects: RCMP

Seven suspects were arrested in Dauphin, Man., on Tuesday, RCMP say, after a well-being check led officers to seize guns, cash, meth and cocaine after searching a local home.

Officers were called to an address on 6th Avenue Northeast in the city, where they found a 29-year-old victim with serious injuries who said he was being held against his will.

The man was taken to hospital, and police continued to investigate. A search of the home led to the discovery of more than 78 grams of meth, eight grams of cocaine, multiple guns and Canadian cash.
