Police have a man in custody and are searching for another after they say guns, ammunition and jewelry were stolen during a break-in at a home in the West End.
Investigators say contractors working in the area called police after seeing two suspects break into a home in the 600 block of Victor Street around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Several firearms, ammunition and other valuables were stolen, police say.
Police say officers patrolling the area after the break-in noticed a man with a knife sticking out of his backpack and took him into custody.
They say a search of the man turned up items believed to have been taken in the break-in, including four rifles, ammunition, brass knuckles, knives and jewelry.
A 44-year-old man from Winnipeg is facing a number of charges.
Police are now looking for the other suspect and say there may be further stolen firearms outstanding.
