8 people arrested related to Big Island Lake incident
Pierceland RCMP have made eight arrests in relation to an incident yesterday which, as a precaution, closed a school.
At roughly 5 a.m. yesterday, Jan. 18, police answered a firearms complaint at a home on the Big Island Lake First Nation.
Two people, an adult male and a female youth, were located outside the house and subsequently arrested. Two others, Conroy Keesaynew and Zachary Worm, were believed to be inside the home. The pair had outstanding warrants for previous weapons-related offences.
For this reason, and because a number of children were reported in the house, RCMP surrounded the house.
