Both men have each been charged with:

  • Possession of firearm in motor vehicle
  • Unsafe storage of firearm
  • Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000  
  • Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose 
  • Possession of firearm with tampered serial number.

Both men appeared in Prince Albert provincial court on Friday morning and were remanded to May 6.
