Winnipeg police (WPS) arrested two men in connection with a firearms and drug trafficking case in Elmwood.
Police say they executed a search warrant at a house in the 1-99 block of Watt Street on Thursday.
During the operation, police say they seized guns, $8,700 worth of methamphetamine, $4,300 worth of fentanyl, drug packaging materials, cellphone, cash, among others as evidence.
Edward Dwayne McNabb, 40, and Robert Jeffery McNabb, 44 have been charged with multiple firearms, drug trafficking, possession of stolen property, and proceeds of crime offences.
“The investigation stemmed from multiple reports from community members of concerned with local drug trafficking involving this Elmwood residence,” WPS said. “The suspects and residence were directly attributed to a rash of recent drug overdoses in the community.”
Both men were detained in custody.
The allegations have yet to be tested in court.
