Neepawa RCMP arrested four members of Sandy Bay First Nation on Feb. 13 after officers were called out by a report of suspicious activity on Highway 261, four miles west of Glenella.
As officers were on route to the call, the Operational Communications Centre (OCC) advised that they had received two more complaints about suspicious people in the same area as well as a possible stolen vehicle.
Officers arrived on the scene, on Highway 261 near Road 77 West, and found a truck and snowmobile, both of which were unoccupied.

Shortly after arriving, a man drove up to the scene and told officers that the snowmobile, along with an ATV, had been stolen from his father’s property. He said that two unknown males had been seen walking away from the abandoned truck and snowmobile while two other unknown males — armed with a firearm — had fled on the ATV.
Manitoba RCMP Police Dog Services (PDS), along with officers from the Amaranth and Portage la Prairie detachments and Sandy Bay Manitoba First Nations Police Service, were called in to assist.
A short time later, officers arrested the two male suspects on Highway 261 who had fled from the truck and snowmobile on foot.
With the help of a drone, officers located the stolen ATV that was stuck in deep snow in a field. The Police Dog Services were able to locate the two male suspects, and they were both arrested without incident.
Although no firearm was found with the two suspects, officers say they did locate one in the ditch where the snowmobile and truck had been left abandoned.
Ethan Beaulieu, 26, Brendon Spence, 27, Rambo Roulette, 38, and an 18-year-old male, all of Sandy Bay First Nation, were charged with numerous offences and remanded into custody.
RCMP say the investigation is ongoing.
