Four people are facing a slew of charges after Winnipeg police discovered guns and a number of stolen items, including a passport, IDs and a credit card at the Super 8 Hotel.
Winnipeg police said on Monday around 9 p.m. they received a request to check on the wellbeing of people inside a hotel room in the 1400 block of Niakwa Road East.
Officers knocked on doors at the hotel, but no one answered a door where police allege they could hear people and what sounded like a gun being manipulated inside.
Shortly after, one person left the room and was taken into custody.
Members of the tactical support team and the K9 unit came to the hotel, and the room’s occupants were ordered to come out.
Police said a woman came out and was taken into custody, and shortly after another man came out as well.
A third man tried to check out of the hotel, but was arrested.
