Break-and-enter charges laid after 3 found in suite that should have been vacant

Police were in a FurbyStreet apartment block on unrelated business Saturday evening when they noticed a door and door frame that had been damaged.

That lead to three people being arrested for breaking and entering.

Just after 6 p.m., the officers entered the suite, in the 500 block of FurbyStreet. Of the three people they found inside, two gave fake names, and one had a homemade gun on them, loaded with a .22-calibre bullet.

The officers determined that the suite should have been vacant.

A 28-year-old Winnipeg man has been charged with break and enter, storing a firearm, public mischief and other charges, in addition to being processed on two outstanding arrest warrants.

A 25-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman are also facing break-and-enter charges. All three were detained in police custody.
