A pair of recent traffic stops by Dauphin RCMP led to charges after police recovered multiple weapons, and drug paraphernalia.
On Friday, November 13 at 1:00 a.m., Dauphin RCMP stopped a vehicle driving down the back lane of 1st Street SW with no headlights on.
The vehicle was not registered and weapons located inside the vehicle were visible to police. A subsequent search of the vehicle recovered 28 grams of cannabis, drug paraphernalia, a machete, and brass knuckles.

One man from Ste. Rose will face weapons-related charges.
About 24 hours later, another traffic stop in Dauphin was conducted after police observed a vehicle in an unsafe operating condition — this time on Main Street South near Whitmore Avenue.
Police discovered the adult man from Dauphin was driving the vehicle unregistered, and the licence plates belonged on a different vehicle.
A search of the vehicle revealed two machetes, two knives, a throwing star and drug paraphernalia.
This incident remains under investigation.
