An arrest made in connection with a stolen vehicle in Portage la Prairie later led RCMP to a stash of drugs, Mounties say. RCMP arrested a 36-year-old woman from Pine Falls, Man., who police allege had a prohibited weapon and a substance believed to be methamphetamine. The woman was charged with possessing a prohibited weapon, a controlled substance and property obtained by crime, the release said. The investigation into the stolen vehicle led officers to a nearby apartment complex, the release said, where they found a gun and a can of bear spray. The three people arrested at the apartment complex, along with the woman arrested with the stolen vehicle, appeared in provincial court in Portage la Prairie on Sept. 16, the release said.
