Two men arrested after a home invasion have appeared in court and RCMP continue to look for a third suspect who threatened police with a machete, then a firearm, at the time of the arrest.
Twenty-four-year-old Jordy Moccasin and 36-year-old Malcolm Moccasin have been remanded in custody and appeared in Battlefords Provincial Court on Tuesday, April 9, at 9:30 a.m.
They are facing a number of criminal code charges including assault with a weapon, possession of a prohibited weapon, uttering a threat, pointing a firearm and other property and driving offences, including operating a motor vehicle while impaired.
The two individuals have been released, subject to the standard release conditions. Malcolm Moccason is due to return to provincial court April 22 at 2 p.m. while Jordy Moccasin’s next provincial court appearance is at 1:30 p.m. May 6.
The charges stem from the following:
At approximately 10:10 p.m. Sunday, Battlefords RCMP responded to a complaint of a home invasion with firearms on the town site of Saulteaux First Nation.
Upon arriving RCMP located the suspect vehicle departing the area and a traffic stop of this vehicle took place.
Two persons were removed from this vehicle and taken into custody for a number of firearms and criminal code driving offences.
While this was taking place a third subject came from a location in a nearby yard and was threatening police with a machete.
This subject then picked up what appeared to be a sawed off firearm and continued to taunt police to engage him before running off with the firearm. This subject was identified through police investigation.
Battlefords RCMP are requesting the public’s assistance in locating 29-year-old Dwayne Katcheech who is currently wanted on charges in connection to this home invasion with firearms incident. Katcheech is six feet tall, 190 lbs, short brown hair, heavy set build.
