Dauphin RCMP say they’ve recovered a large haul of stolen property in the RM of Grandview.

Mounties say they pulled over a pickup truck with a snowmobile in the back on Wednesday due to the large number of snowmobile thefts in recent months.

Officers determined the snowmobile had in fact been stolen and arrested a 17-year-old male from the RM of Dauphin.

Two days later, the investigation led officers to search a residence in the RM of Grandview, where they say they discovered 11 stolen snowmobiles, two stolen ATVs, unsafely stored firearms and a small amount of meth.
