Hey there, time traveller!

Two people have been charged with more than a dozen firearms-related offences each after police uncovered an arsenal of stolen and restricted guns in a North End residence.
The Winnipeg Police Service’s guns and gangs unit executed a search warrant at a building in the 400 block of Boyd Avenue on Wednesday.
Police said two suspects, both of whom are from Winnipeg, were placed under arrest without incident and officers seized several weapons, prohibited magazines and various types of ammunition.
The probe — which yielded a sawed-off Remington 12-gauge shotgun reported stolen in November, among other items — was part of an ongoing firearms investigation, the WPS said.
A 24-year-old man is facing 25 charges in connection to possessing and storing restricted weapons, as well as having an item worth $5,000 or less that was obtained by crime.
The man, who was detained in custody, has been charged with multiple counts of failing to comply with release and probation orders.
The second suspect has been charged with 13 offences, including several counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm. The 24-year-old woman was released on an undertaking.
