A proactive traffic stop near Opaskwayak Cree Nation has resulted in the seizure of two firearms and ammunition and the arrest of two individuals.

The Manitoba First Nations Police Service says officers stopped a vehicle on Highway 10 North, near Watchi Bay, on November first.

A male passenger, identified as 28-year-old Brent Zachius John Daniels of Flin Flon, was wanted on an outstanding warrant. He faces several additional firearms-related charges.

The female driver, 29-year-old Victoria Dreamweaver Moore of Winnipeg, was found to be breaching her conditional sentence order and driving while disqualified. A drug screening test also detected cocaine in her system.

Both individuals were remanded into custody.

Police say the seizure is part of their ongoing commitment to keeping community roadways safe and removing firearms from unauthorized owners.
