On Monday, members of the Patuanak detachment conducted a traffic stop on the La Plonge First Nation, resulting in the arrest of one individual.

As a result of the traffic stop the officers located six bottles of alcohol that were purchased and then transported for resale with the community of Patuanak. A small quantity of marijuana that was not purchased from a licensed retailer was also located within the vehicle.

One individual has been charged under the Alcohol Gaming Regulations Act as a result.
