On June 14, 2021, at approximately 3:00 p.m., West District officers responded to the report of a male seen with a firearm in the food court of Cadillac Fairview Polo Park.

The male was seen removing a handgun from a bag, showing it to another individual, and placing it back into his bag. He then exited the mall. Mall security contacted the police and provided a suspect description. Nobody was threatened during this incident.

Police located the suspect at Portage Avenue and Tylehurst Street, where he was safely taken into custody, and a firearm was seized. The gun was subsequently determined to be a CO2-powered BB pistol that closely resembles a Beretta model APX.

A 23-year-old of Winnipeg is facing the charge of Possession of a Weapon; he was released on an Appearance Notice (as mandated per the Criminal Code).
