A Pelican Narrows woman is facing a long list of charges after an evening patrol in the community turned into a larger search-and-seizure event.

Pelican Narrows RCMP officers were conducting evening patrols on Saturday in the community, to reportedly “check for compliance with the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation’s new emergency safety measures.”

During that patrol, officers checked a home on Linklater Street and were given permission to enter the home.
