Officers stopped the car in the 100 block of Avenue G North and as they approached the vehicle, they observed what appeared to be a sawed-off rifle on the car floor. Police say the two occupants of the vehicle were also in possession of a duffel bag that contained masks, alcohol, a rifle, an imitation firearm and a knife.

A 35-year-old woman from Little Pine First Nation and a 38-year-old man from North Battleford are facing a total of 18 weapons-related charges following the incident.
