Mounties seized guns, drugs and ammunition during a traffic stop in Dauphin last week.
Police stopped a truck at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 29, after an officer noticed it was driving with a stolen licence plate, Manitoba RCMP said in a news release Tuesday.
RCMP arrested a male driver and a female passenger, and confirmed the truck had been reported stolen, police said.
Further investigation revealed both occupants had outstanding arrest warrants. The man was also driving without a driver’s licence and was impaired by an illicit drug, police said.
“After a subsequent search of the vehicle, officers located two loaded firearms, drug paraphernalia, illicit drugs and ammunition. Both occupants were not lawfully able to possess firearms,” the release said.
Dustin Robertson, 32, of Gilbert Plains faces 17 charges, including possession of property obtained by crime, unauthorized possession of a firearm and a slate of traffic offences.
Shaunene Lefort-Lynx, 34, of Grandview, is charged with seven offences, including possession of property obtained by crime, unauthorized possession of a firearm and unlawful transportation of cannabis in a vehicle.
The investigation is ongoing, RCMP said.
