Charges have been laid against a youth following an alleged assault with a weapon earlier this month on the Sandy Bay First Nation.
Manitoba First Nations Police say they responded on May 6th to a report of a firearm being discharged on Townsite Bay.
They found one youth male suffering from injuries and were told that two suspects had fled the scene.
Four days later, police executed a search warrant on a home on Townsite Bay, where a firearm, ammunition, and other weapons were seized.
A male, who can not be identified under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was arrested and charged with assault with a weapon and careless use of a firearm.
He has been released from custody on a promise to appear in court at a later date.
An adult male at the home at the time of the search was arrested on outstanding warrants, and now faces additional charges in relation to the firearm that was discovered.
