Winnipeg police have arrested a 16-year-old boy on weapons charges after receiving reports of “multiple people” involved in a fight in Forks on Saturday night.
Police say they responded to 1 Forks Market Road around 11:30 pm on July 30, 2022. Officers arrived on the CN scene and found approximately 10-15 people running from the area. The police were able to arrest all the suspects, but one person got away. Police believe the suspect was carrying a gun and a shoulder bag at the time.
After a short chase, officers were able to corner the suspect in a nearby parking lot. They seized a large hunting knife and more than 200 grams of cannabis with a street value of about $1,186.
Believing that the suspect had discarded the firearm and bag during the chase, officers retraced their steps and found the bag containing a brass knuckle/bladed weapon. They didn’t find a gun.
A 16-year-old Winnipeg boy is facing several gun and drug-related charges. The charges are yet to be proven in court.
