Two men were arrested last Thursday following a traffic stop south of Grand Rapids.

Officers conducted the traffic stop and observed open liquor, at which point the driver and passenger were both placed under arrest.

A search of the vehicle led to the seizure of additional bottles of liquor, a sawed-off shotgun, a large amount of Canadian currency and other drug-related paraphernalia.

Brenden Ettawacappo, 30, and Braden Simpson, 28, both from Kinosao Sipi Cree Nation, were remanded into custody on various firearms and drug-related offences.

RCMP Investigations are ongoing.
