Charges laid following gravel pit gun call: Manitoba RCMP

Four people are facing charges after police in Steinbach, Man., responded to a gun call at a local gravel pit Sunday night.

Steinbach RCMP were called to the gravel pit shortly before 11 p.m. after someone reported a group of people in a vehicle had pointed a gun at them.

Officers searched the area and say they found the suspect vehicle parked outside a home in the Rural Municipality of Hanover; the engine was running and there were two people still inside.

The man driving and his male passenger, both 26-years-old, were arrested without incident.

They say several guns and ammunition were seized from the home.
