Four people were arrested after Norway House RCMP followed up on a complaint about an apparently armed man threatening people at a home in the northern Manitoba community.
Police said when they arrived on scene, they learned that a robbery had taken place at the home, and that a number of suspects had taken off in a vehicle.
The vehicle was spotted on Provincial Road 373, and a search during a traffic stop turned up brass knuckles and a BB handgun. All four occupants were arrested and charged.
The driver, a 38-year-old man from Norway House, has been charged with two counts of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and unauthorized possession of a firearm.
