A police raid on a Transcona home Tuesday led to a pair of arrests and the seizure of guns, drugs and other contraband.
Police said they were tipped off in mid-January by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) about suspicious packages being sent to a Winnipeg address.
On Tuesday, the police firearms investigations and enforcement unit found a .22 calibre rifle and a .22 calibre shotgun — both with ammunition — in the home, as well as homemade conducted energy weapons (including a cattle prod) and materials used to make conducted energy weapons.
They also seized oxycontin and Xanax, as well as body armour and a 3D printer.
The two suspects, a 43-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman, are facing a long list of charges, including weapons possession, possession of a scheduled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and weapons trafficking.
