Police in northern Manitoba say they seized more than 200 bottles of liquor, along with illicit drugs and a pair of loaded handguns, during a search at a Bunibonibee Cree Nation home.
RCMP from the Oxford House detachment were called to the home around 6:50 p.m. Thursday to support First Nation Safety Officers and a band constable.
A search of the residence — which police said was supposed to be unoccupied — uncovered $64,000 in liquor and other contraband. The three people inside were arrested.
