Mounties arrested a Dauphin man on Sunday after he emerged from one of the two hidden rooms police uncovered in the home.
The RCMP went to a home on Hawthorne Avenue in Dauphin at around 12:20 a.m. to arrest a man who was wanted on multiple theft-related charges.
Officers announced themselves and went inside the residence, where they found a man who said he was home alone, RCMP said in a news release.
When officers searched the room, they found a hidden room behind a false wall, Mounties said. Police found various weapons inside the room, along with a trap door that led to a second hidden room, RCMP said.
After roughly 20 minutes, the suspect, who was inside the second hidden room, surrendered, police said.
Jayson McDougall, 48, was charged with resisting arrest and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, in addition to his previous charges.
McDougall was remanded into custody.
The other person who was in the home, a 35-year-old man, was arrested and faces a charge of obstructing police.
He was released from custody on a promise to appear in court.
