Three people are facing charges after two victims were threatened with a gun in Opaskwayak Cree Nation.

Manitoba First Nations Police Service officers were sent to a business’ parking lot at about 7:45 p.m. on April 8 after three people in a vehicle approached the victims. A man inside the vehicle pulled out a gun and pointed it at the victims, police said Wednesday.

Officers arrested three people at a home near Clearwater Provincial Park and seized a sawed-off shotgun and ammunition.

Two men — ages 33 and 25 — and a 20-year-old woman, all from Moose Lake, have been charged.
