Meth, a sword and an improvised gun found during Winnipeg traffic stop

Three Winnipeggers face multiple charges after a traffic stop turned up a zip gun, a sword, meth, and cash.

The vehicle was stopped early Monday morning on Maryland Street near Portage Avenue. The vehicle failed to signal, and the car was pulled over on Portage and Langside Street.

Police spotted the barrel of an improvised firing device (a ‘zip gun’) at the legs of the front passenger, and a further search of the vehicle turned up a sword on the floor next to the rear passenger seat.
