Ponteix RCMP has the community to thank in a recent case of theirs.

Officers from the Ponteix detachment were able to arrest a male suspect in Vanguard after members of the community phoned in with concerns.

The male had previously gone before a Provincial Court Judge, where it was ruled he would be released on numerous firearms and weapons conditions.

Various calls came in about the man, and feelings regarding public safety concerning him.

The Ponteix RCMP completed a thorough investigation which proved the prior concerns valid and resulted in the man's apprehension. 

The man has since been released back into the community of Vanguard under strict conditions.
