The Battlefords RCMP have charged three people with firearms offences after an arrest Thursday afternoon.
On July 29th, the North Battleford Gang Task Force came upon an allegedly stolen vehicle on 109th Street. The people inside were arrested, and during a search, police allegedly seized illegally modified guns, ammo, cocaine and methamphetamine.
Two of the suspects, 24-year-old Kane Nicotine and 21-year-old Talia Bear, have been charged with alleged possession of property obtained by crime, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, breach of release order, and multiple firearms offences. Nicotine has also been accused of breach of probation.
Ahenakew and three others were arrested last September during a traffic stop in North Battleford on Railway Avenue. According to Sgt. Adam Buckingham from the Battlefords General Investigation Section, the North Battleford Gang Task Force initiated a traffic stop on two vehicles after they noticed the occupants appeared to be interacting with one another. Police didn’t specify what the interaction was but say one of the occupants was known to police and had an outstanding arrest warrant. Police noticed weapons in one of the vehicles and arrested the four occupants from both vehicles. They searched the vehicles and found a firearm, a Taser, weapons, cocaine, meth and marijuana.
