At approximately 8:45 the night of January 13th, Flin Flon RCMP were patrolling in the community when they observed two males in a parking lot.

Officers stopped to speak with them and during the conversation an officer noticed that a can of bear mace was partially hidden inside one of the men’s jackets.

The man was arrested for possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and for carrying a concealed weapon.  A subsequent search of the man and a truck associated to him, resulted in the seizure of approximately  32 grams of cocaine, a can of bear mace, a large capacity .22 rifle magazine, cash, and drug paraphernalia.

A 67-year-old Flin Flon man has been charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of Property obtained by Crime, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Fail to Comply with conditions and multiple other offences.
