Winnipeg police say they found a shotgun that had been stolen from a cruiser during a call to a home about a child welfare matter.
Police say they went to a home on Monday and seized several firearms and ammunition.
They say further examination of the seized firearms determined that a shotgun seized from the residence was identified as missing from a marked police cruiser on May 26, 2014.
Police say the shotgun has been modified.
As of August 2014, shotguns are no longer kept in cruiser cars and are secured in the station when not signed out to an on-duty member.
A 28-year-old woman and a 30-year-old male have been charged with numerous firearm related offences and are un custody.
Police did not say what happened to the child or children who originally sparked the call.
