On Monday, the RCMP in Sheshatshiu arrested three people after a search of a residence resulted in the seizure of a firearm and other weapons. A 52-year-old woman faces eight charges, including unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of property obtained by crime, and a 39-year-old man has been charged with failing to comply with his release order. Police also arrested a 32-year-old man who was the subject of an active warrant.

Around 1:00 a.m. on Monday, an officer noticed that a vehicle seized the previous day had been removed from the lot without proper authorization. A review of surveillance video showed an unknown male using a second set of keys to steal the pickup truck.

• Obstruction of a peace officer

• Unauthorized possession of a prohibited device – 2 counts

• Possession of stolen property over $5,000

• Unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon – 2 counts

• Unsafe storage of a firearm
