Winnipeg Police have arrested a suspect after they received a call about a break and enter on Tuesday, February 13, 2018. When officers arrived to the apartment building in the 600 block of Ellice Avenue they found a male hiding behind a doorway wearing a balaclava and face mask.
Police say they arrested the man and a search found that he had what police describe as a “heavily reduced” sawed-off .22 calibre rifle. He also had a pouch containing .22 calibre ammunition cartridges, a pouch with .17 HMR calibre cartridges and a large hunting knife.
Police say that as the investigation continued they determined that the original Break and enter report was unfounded.
Jesse James Daher, 25 from Winnipeg, has been charged for his alleged involvement with:
- Possession of a Weapon (x2)
- Carrying Concealed Weapon Prohibited Device or Ammunition (x2)
- Possession of a Prohibited or Restricted Firearm with Ammunition (x2)
- Possession of a Firearm Knowing its Possession is Unauthorized (x2)
- Possession of Firearm, Restricted/Prohibited Weapon or Ammunition Contrary to Prohibition Order (x2)
- Fail to Comply Condition Recognizance by Judge/Justice (x4)
Daher also had five outstanding arrest warrants and was detained in custody.
