Three people have been arrested and police have issued an arrest warrant for a fourth following an armed robbery in Deer Lake in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 16.

Twenty-eight-year-old Jake Williams, 27-year-old Jared Healey and 25-year-old Brianna Lavers were all arrested after a person was assaulted and robbed at gunpoint while parked in a lot in Deer Lake.

A quantity of drugs, a bank card and an iPad were stolen.

The arrests were made on Monday and a Deer Lake home was searched, resulting in the seizure of shot gun shells and brass knuckles.

Healey and Williams were held in custody pending a scheduled court appearance today. Lavers was released by the court and is set to appear August 29.

The three accused are each facing a long list of serious charges including extortion using a firearm and robbery using a firearm.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Shane White, who is facing the same charges in addition to several others.

Police say it appears as though the robbery was not random. The investigation continues.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Shane White is asked to contact Deer Lake RCMP, or Crime Stoppers.
