Three adults and a teenage boy are facing charges after Winnipeg police raided a West End home, seizing drugs and weapons Thursday night.
The police Guns and Gangs Unit, along with officers from two districts and the Tactical Support Team, searched two suites at a Toronto Street residence and found a large stash of contraband.
Among the items seized were body armour, a sawed off 12-gauge shotgun and ammunition, a machete, seven ounces of meth, almost $4,000 in cash, and drug packaging material, as well as a scale that appeared to be contaminated with drug residue, police said.
Stuart James Asham, 45, is facing charges of meth possession for the purpose of trafficking, possessing an unauthorized firearm, storing a firearm contrary to regulations, possessing a firearm contrary to a prohibition order, possessing body armour without a valid permit, and possessing the proceeds of property obtained by crime.
