Over the course of three days, Saskatchewan RCMP’s Saskatoon Warrant Enforcement and Response Team (WEST) arrested five people in the Lloydminster area who were wanted on multiple outstanding warrants.

Last Tuesday police located and arrested 23-year-old Shania Heathen of Lloydminster at a business in Lloydminster. She was arrested on an outstanding warrant from Maidstone RCMP for possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose, as well as for breaching her conditional sentence order. She is also facing a new charge of possession of schedule I substance (fentanyl).

Charges have been laid against two people after the RCMP seized 31 firearms from a residence in Lafleche and a rural yard site south of the town. 

On Nov. 8, at around 11:25 a.m., the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Swift Current Saskatchewan Trafficking Response Team (STRT), Police Dog Services, Gravelbourg Detachment, National Weapons Enforcement Support Team and the Regina Police Service Crime Reduction Team executed search warrants on the properties as part of an ongoing investigation.

Canada's Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault apologized Friday, after shifting claims about his Indigenous identity came under scrutiny.

The Liberal member of Parliament said at an unrelated announcement in Edmonton that he's sorry he hadn't been clear, "with everything that I know now."

"I apologize that I wasn't as clear as I could have been about who I am and my family's history,” he said, adding that he's still learning about his family's heritage "in real time."
