RCMP in Happy Valley-Goose Bay have laid charges against four people in connection with an incident involving guns and orders to stay inside and lock doors and windows.

RCMP were called to the area of Mesher and Lethbridge streets following reports of a person who had fired multiple rounds from a firearm and was seen walking about the area.

Residents were asked to shelter-in-place while police dog Phox led officers to a home on Learning Street. Six people were called out of the home and arrested without incident.

– Failure to comply with a condition of a release order – five counts,
