What started as one man making threats led to a full-blown drugs and firearms bust in The Pas, Man.

Early Wednesday morning, RCMP said it responded to a fight at a home in the northern Manitoba city after officers were told a man was uttering threats.

Police said when arresting him, they saw firearms parts, drugs, and drug equipment in the home. Officers said they seized the parts, which included barrels, a stock, bullets and magazines.

Authorities said the residence was then secured, and a search warrant was obtained under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
