Proactive Traffic Stop Leads to Firearms Seizure and Multiple Arrests

The Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNPS) conducted a traffic stop near Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN), which led to the seizure of two firearms and ammunition, along with the arrest of two individuals.

On November 1, 2026, members of the MFNPS OCN Detachment were conducting proactive patrols in the community and surrounding roadways when they initiated a traffic stop on Highway 10 North, near Watchi Bay.

During the traffic stop, officers identified a male passenger known to police, as he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Police took the male into custody without incident.

Further investigation revealed the female driver was on a Conditional Sentence Order (CSO), which required her to abide by a 24-hour curfew at a residence in Winnipeg. Officers also determined that the female was prohibited from operating a motor vehicle and held a disqualified driver's licence.

While speaking with the female, officers observed signs of drug impairment. A drug screening test detected cocaine in her system. The female was subsequently arrested for multiple offences.

A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of two firearms and ammunition.
