On March 1, the New Hazelton RCMP received a complaint of a disturbance at a residence in Gitanmaax.
A male was reported to be intoxicated and trying to fight people.
Police responded to the complaint and located a small group of people drinking within the residence.
Two males were arrested for outstanding arrest warrants, one being a criminal code warrant and the other being a mental health warrant.
Two other people, a male and female, were also arrested. The male was arrested for breaching his probation. The female was arrested for breaching a recognizance.
