MEADOW LAKE — Meadow Lake RCMP are seeking the public's assistance in locating two individuals involved in three violent incidents over the weekend. Brian Maurice, 38, from Flying Dust First Nation and Chantal Roy, 24, from Meadow Lake are among five people charged.

On Feb. 11 at approximately 8:15 p.m., Meadow Lake RCMP received a report that an unknown adult male was banging on the door of a residence on 6th Avenue East in Meadow Lake, yelling that someone was going to shoot him. It was further reported that a vehicle had pulled up to the residence, a male exited and forced the unknown male into the vehicle with him. The vehicle then left the scene travelling in an unknown direction.

Shortly after this incident, at approximately 8:25 p.m., Meadow Lake RCMP received a report of an injured adult female seeking assistance at a residence on 2nd Street East in Meadow Lake. It was reported the female had what were described as serious injuries which included having three fingers cut off one hand.

Five minutes later, at approximately 8:30 p.m., Meadow Lake RCMP received a report of a second injured adult female seeking assistance at a residence on the Flying Dust First Nation. It was reported the second female also had what were reported to be serious injuries which included having two fingers cut off one hand.

RCMP officers and local EMS attended to the residences on 2nd Street East and the Flying Dust First Nation. EMS transported the two females to hospital for treatment.

While conducting the investigation, officers identified a suspect vehicle in the incident where the adult male was forced into a vehicle. Officers located the suspect vehicle on the Flying Dust First Nation and subsequently arrested two individuals.

Investigators believe the three incidents involve local gangs and are related.
