Mounties arrested two men on Saturday after a traffic stop on Highway 2 turned up drugs and a loaded handgun.
The Manitoba RCMP Roving Traffic Unit pulled over a vehicle in the Rural Municipality of South Cypress-Glenboro at around 11:15 p.m. and noticed an illicit drug and prohibited weapon “in plain sight,” RCMP said in a news release on Tuesday.
RCMP members arrested two men and searched the vehicle.
Police said they found a loaded handgun, two kilograms of a substance they believed to be cocaine and several grams of another substance they believed to be methamphetamine, along with other prohibited weapons.
Tyler Thorvaldson, 29, of Carman and Kyle Tkachyk, 43, of Elm Creek were charged with possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possessing methamphetamine, possessing a loaded prohibited weapon in a motor vehicle, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and careless use of a firearm, along with other weapons-related charges.
Thorvaldson also received tickets for driving a vehicle equipped with a radar detection device and carrying open liquor in the vehicle.
Both men were remanded into custody.
