Winnipeg police say an investigation alongside Manitoba RCMP has led to the seizure of 30 guns and $60,000 in cocaine and hydromorphone.
The investigation, dubbed Project Quarry, also resulted in the arrest of five people — two from Winnipeg, two from Stonewall and one from Rockwood — and a total of 53 drug and firearm trafficking-related charges.
Police said a crackdown between March 17 and 19 involved raids on residences and vehicles in all three communities.
Among the firearms seized were handguns, rifles and shotguns. Some of the guns had been reported stolen, police said, while others had been smuggled into the country.
