On March 7, the Manitoba RCMP’s West District Crime Reduction Unit obtained a search warrant at a residence in Erickson.

The search warrant was issued after investigators determined the resident was in possession of firearms despite being legally prohibited from doing so. It was executed with the assistance of the Manitoba Integrated Law Enforcement Team West and Yellowhead RCMP.

Officers found 12 firearms and roughly 2,000 rounds of ammunition at the residence. 

A 55-year-old Erickson male faces a number of charges, including unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm contrary to order and unsafe storage of firearms. RCMP continue to investigate and more charges are anticipated.

The suspect was released on an undertaking, with his first court appearance scheduled for May in Minnedosa.
