Bullet fired through apartment wall: police

Winnipeg police arrested two men and seized cash, drugs and firearms after a bullet was fired through the wall of an apartment suite in the city’s south end on Sunday afternoon.

Winnipeg Police Service officers were called to an apartment complex on Barnes Street, near Bison Drive, about a gunshot at about 12:30 p.m., police said on Tuesday.

Officers determined the shot had been fired into the apartment from the neighbouring suite. Police saw ammunition and cocaine out in plain sight when they went to check on the occupants in the suite where the shot had been fired from.

Police arrested the two men in the apartment and major crimes investigators got a warrant to search the suite.

Police seized two handguns, including one with a loaded magazine, four rounds of ammunition, 5.5 grams of cocaine, about $16,000 in cash, a scale and gang paraphernalia.

Two men, both 37, have been charged with a number of gun and drug-trafficking offences. They were held in custody.
