• 33 grams of cocaine (with a potential street value of $3,300)
• Approximately $26,000 cash
• Counterfeit money
• A loaded semi-automatic 9mm handgun
• An extra magazine for the 9mm handgun containing ammunition
• A loaded .22 calibre revolver
• Hundreds of rounds of .22 calibre ammunition
• A high-capacity .22 calibre magazine
• A revolver-style CO2 air gun
• Materials used to produce fentanyl

Additionally, police say investigators used a search warrant on the suspect’s vehicle and seized a canister of bear spray, a machete and a knife.

As a result, a 45-year-old man from Winnipeg is facing multiple drug and weapons charges and he has been detained in custody.
