Two men from Fairford, Man. are in custody after a harrowing incident Sept. 22, which resulted in police seizing a number of guns from a home in the community.
The incident started just after 5 a.m., when RCMP were called about a vehicle – with young children as passengers – being chased around Fairford by another vehicle.
RCMP caught up with the victim at a nearby gas station, where he said he was chased by two men, one of whom pulled out a gun and threatened him.
The victim, 21, said he got his children safely out of the vehicle and went to a nearby residence to call police.
Two hours later, police were told the suspect vehicle was spotted on Hwy. 6, apparently returning to Fairford from Ashern. Officers met the suspects in a driveway and took them into custody.
A search of the house turned up four rifles, one shotgun, and one pistol, as well as ammunition.
