At 3:40 Friday afternoon, the Dauphin RCMP were told a male youth was in possession of a firearm and may have pointed it at people on Kirby Avenue E in Dauphin.

The suspect wasn’t located by the initial patrol of the area, but by 3:50 that afternoon, the 17-year-old male youth was found at his home and arrested.

Officers then learned that he had robbed a 19-year-old male of his bike, which was later recovered.

The 17-year-old was remanded into custody on a robbery charge as well as numerous breach of undertaking charges.

The matter is still under investigation as the firearms haven’t been recovered yet.
