Winnipeg, MB – Two men were arrested Monday in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighborhood after police allegedly found weapons, drugs, cash, and stolen property during a vehicle stop.

At approximately 3:05 p.m., officers located the suspect inside a vehicle in the 1–99 block of Arlington Street, with a 21-year-old man as a passenger. Both were detained without incident.
