The Saskatchewan RCMP’s North Battleford General Investigation Section has charged three people from Moosomin First Nation — a 34-year-old man, a 28-year-old woman and 25-year-old Wionna Katcheech.
Each faces counts of kidnapping with a firearm, attempted murder, robbery with a firearm and intimidation of a justice system participant.
The man was arrested Sept. 18 on Saulteaux First Nation and is scheduled to appear in North Battleford Provincial Court on Oct. 22.
The 28-year-old woman was arrested by the RCMP’s Critical Incident Response Team in North Battleford on Oct. 2, prompting a heavy police presence that day on 106th Street. She is scheduled to appear in the same provincial court on Oct. 6.
A warrant remains in effect for Katcheech, who is described as five-foot-four, 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Mounties are urging the public not to approach her.
