Gimli RCMP seize guns, drug paraphernalia in search of Riverton home

A 58-year-old man is in custody, Manitoba RCMP say, after a search of a Riverton-area home turned up weapons and drug paraphernalia.
Officers from the Gimli detachment were called to the home on the evening of Sept. 20, where they seized nine firearms — one of which was loaded — as well as cash and ammunition.
Police said the man was in possession of several baggies when he was arrested in a bathroom, and tests conducted at the scene indicated the presence of cocaine on surfaces in that room.
The suspect faces charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possessing a firearm without a valid licence, and two unsafe storage of firearms offences.
Officers found several people outside the property who were briefly detained but later released without charges.
