Police in Nova Scotia’s Pictou County are asking for the public’s help in connection with an investigation into weapons possession and threats.
The RCMP says it responded to a report of three or four people at a home with firearms on Macleod Road in Heathbell around 5:20 p.m. Saturday.
Police say they found and arrested two men as they left the home.
Officers did not see a firearm and the men were later released.
The investigation is ongoing.
Police say they are looking for other people who are believed to be involved in the incident and fled the area before officers arrived.
“The investigation also indicates that a grey Honda Civic and a dark-coloured truck were observed near the home moments before the incident was reported to police, and officers have seized a blue 2008 GMC Sierra as part of the investigation,” reads a Tuesday news release from the RCMP.
Police are asking the public to help identify the Civic, the dark-coloured truck and the other people who may have been involved.
The RCMP did not provide a description of the people.
Investigators are asking anyone who saw suspicious circumstances, or vehicles around Heathbell near the time of the incident, or who may have more information, to call them at 902-485-4333 or Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
