Dauphin RCMP and the West District Crime Reduction Enforcement Support Team (CREST) arrested two people from Dauphin following a traffic stop over the weekend.

Last week on Friday evening around 7:45, officers with West District CREST conducted the traffic stop on River Avenue East in Dauphin.

In the traffic stop, officers seized a small amount of meth and Canadian currency.

Further investigation led to a search warrant being executed at a residence located on River Ave. E in Dauphin.

At the house, officers recovered more meth, a loaded .22 calibre pistol, ammunition, body armour, and drug paraphernalia.

A 36-year-old man and 29-year-old woman, both from Dauphin, were arrested.

The male is facing various charges that include possession for the purpose of trafficking, while the female was released without a charge.

The investigation is continuing.
