Winnipeg police allege a gun that was dropped by a suspicious man they were following on Friday night was stolen from a home more than 25 years ago.
Police say they followed the man as he went between two houses, and they noticed something drop just before he came out of a yard.
It turned out to be an unloaded Smith and Wesson .357 handgun that was taken from a Winnipeg residence back in 1989.
Twenty-year-old Jesse James Whyte of Winnipeg faces numerous weapons charges.
