Man on most-wanted list arrested

Winnipeg police arrested a man on Wednesday evening who has been on the province’s most-wanted list for several months.

Benjamyn John Beaulieu, 21, was wanted on several warrants for firearms offences and assault.

Winnipeg Police Service bail compliance and tactical officers found him in the 400 block of Lipton Street in the West End at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and seized a loaded Glock pistol.

Beaulieu was charged with several firearms offences and on several warrants connected to incidents earlier this year.

He’s accused of showing up at a home downtown and threatening, assaulting and robbing a woman he had a domestic relationship with in March this year.

While still wanted, Beaulieu is also accused of attending a party in the southwest area of the city in early July, where he allegedly pulled out a loaded gun and waved it at others, before fleeing.

He’s been detained in custody.
