A man from Prince Albert and a woman from Deschambault Lake are facing a combined total of nearly a dozen charges after an assault and vehicle robbery with a firearm.

Keith McCallum is scheduled to appear in Prince Albert Provincial Court on Feb. 26, and Kanyssa Merasty is scheduled to appear in Pelican Narrows Provincial Court on March 3.

On February 15, at approximately at 5:35 p.m., Pelican Narrows RCMP were called to Jan Lake.

It was reported two individuals in their mid-20s, a male and a female, assaulted the occupant of a white Dodge Ram truck and stole the truck.

Police officers from several RCMP detachments responded immediately. Pelican Narrows RCMP, Creighton RCMP and Deschambault Lake RCMP searched for the truck but were not successful. The victim was located by officers and determined to have non-life-threatening injuries.
