There were two police cases involving firearms over the same number of days, one of which resulted in an arrest.
RCMP arrested a 48-year-old Winnipeg man on Dec. 13 after staff at a local bar had seized a loaded handgun following a confrontation between a group of males at the establishment, officers say.
Police say Stewart Duncan was remanded into custody and appeared in North Vancouver court on Dec. 16.
Duncan is charged with firearms-related offences including, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and possession of a loaded firearm.
In a separate incident Dec. 12, Squamish RCMP say a woman reported to police she was robbed at gunpoint at around 6 a.m., officers say.
RCMP say in this case, three males wearing masks and brandishing firearms entered the home, allegedly assaulted a person and took several items.
The alleged robbery occurred at a residence in the 38000-block of Third Avenue in downtown Squamish.
Before the incident, police say they went to the area around 2 a.m. due to a complaint of a possible break and enter to a garage and a connection between these events is being looked at.
