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.
