Two arrested in Dryden on gun charges

Two Dryden men are facing charges following an inter-provincial investigation.  Police say the men were trafficking spring-loaded knives at a Gun show in Brandon Manitoba earlier this month.   RCMP Detective Rob Duttchen says over 150-firearms, knives, ammunition and cash were seized from the two men who had reserved tables at the show.  The accused has been identified as 71-year-old Robert MacGillvray, who was arrested by Dryden Police following a subsequent investigation.  His friend, a 70-year-old, has not been identified.  RCMP hope to release a list of charges and names late this week.
