Police have arrested two men and are seeking a third person after two home invasions in Birdtail Sioux First Nation.
Three men were assaulted in the incidents Thursday. A family member of the community’s chief, Lindsay Bunn Jr., told the Brandon Sun last week that Bunn Jr. was among the victims and was hospitalized.
A 34-year-old man was arrested at one of the scenes and charged with three counts of assault causing bodily harm and two counts of break and enter with intent. A 23-year-old man was arrested later and charged with one count each of the same offences.
The older man was remanded into custody, while the younger man was released pending a future court appearance.
A warrant has been issued for a third, unnamed person involved in the attacks, the Manitoba First Nations Police Service said in a news release Wednesday. The MFNPS asked anyone with information about the home invasions to contact its Birdtail Sioux detachment at 204-569-4621, or the anonymous tips line at 1-833-978-0048 or TIPS@mfnp.ca.
