The Brandon Police Service arrested three people last week after officers seized a variety of weapons from a Brandon home.
As part of an investigation into illicit firearms, the Brandon police’s major crime unit obtained a search warrant for a home in the 300 block of 11th Street on Thursday. At the time, traffic in the area was closed as a precaution.
During the search, police seized a modified Cooey model 82.22cal gun, bear mace, a variety of other weapons, and a small amount of meth.
Three people were arrested and taken into custody.
A 38-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were set to appear in court last Friday on charges of careless storage of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and possession of meth.
A 30-year-old woman was scheduled to appear in court at the end of last week on a number of charges including possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order and two counts of failure to comply with a release order.
