Firearm seized, four arrested after RCMP search Beaver Lake Cree Nation home

Four adults are facing charges after Lac La Biche RCMP officers partnered with the Eastern Alberta District’s RCMP executed a search warrant at a residence in Beaver Lake Cree Nation last week, seizing several firearms and other items.

Police say during the search of the residence, they located and seized a sawed-off shotgun, 4 replica firearms, an additional firearm, and some ammunition.

Tristan Bradley Campbell, 29, a resident of Long Plain First Nation, Man., was charged with: possession of a loaded firearm, possession of a firearm while prohibited, possession of ammunition while prohibited, and two counts of failure to comply with a release order.

“This investigation resulted in police arresting a prolific offender and removed unsafe firearms from the streets,” said Cpl. Chris Salamon of the Eastern Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit.  “Crime Reduction Units in collaboration with RCMP detachments, like Lac La Biche, effectively target priority offenders who cause the most harm in our communities and play a crucial role to increase public safety.”

Campbell was held in police custody for a judicial hearing. He was remanded in police custody and is set to appear for a bail hearing in Lac La Biche on Nov. 3.
