A 41-year-old man is in custody after Winnipeg police found 73 guns along with thousands of rounds of ammunition at his St Boniface home.
Police said they were tipped off by the Canadian Border Service Agency in July when a silencer headed for Winnipeg from China was intercepted in the mail.
Officers raided a house on Almond Bay Oct. 16 and found a massive stash of guns, ammunition, body armour, and explosives.
The weapons alone have an estimated value of around $300,000, police said.
The seizure included more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition, as well as a wide range of guns, from pistols to shotguns to submachine guns.
