Two men are facing a long list of Criminal Code weapons charges after La Ronge RCMP investigated a complaint of a shot being fired in a residential neighbourhood of La Ronge Sunday.

Police investigated the report of a single shot fired from a vehicle near the 100 block of Wapos Avenue at about 1:40 a.m.

Police say the vehicle, described as a silver pick-up truck, left the scene and was noted to be travelling westbound after the incident took place. Investigators located a vehicle matching the description and the two men were arrested without incident. According to RCMP, a restricted firearm and ammunition were recovered from the vehicle.

Both were to appear in La Ronge Provincial Court Monday.
