Winnipeg man faces dozens of charges after cops seize $300K in stolen goods
Winnipeg police say they’re looking for additional suspects after seizing $300,000 worth of stolen property from a Tecumseh Street compound earlier this month.
The items, which included more than a dozen vehicles, had been reported stolen between June and August from Winnipeg, as well as Beausejour, Peguis, Rosser, Fisher Branch, St. Clements and the rural municipalities of MacDonald and St. Andrews.
Police said they learned the compound was being rented, and its owner wasn’t aware of the criminal activity.
