A Winnipeg man faces a laundry list of charges after a Friday arrest near Blake Street in the Weston area.

Police said they spotted a suspect walking away from a stolen vehicle shortly after midnight, and arrested him before he could enter a nearby taxi.

A search of the man turned up around $125 in cocaine, $200 in heroin, and $80 in cash.

A further search of the man’s bag found ID in his name, a scale, a knife, a sawed-off .22 calibre rifle without a stock – plus a box of .22 ammunition and a magazine – as well as a number of phony $50 bills.
