On September 6, 2023, as a result of an ongoing investigation into the possession of controlled substances and illegal firearms in the community, Norway House RCMP, with assistance from the RCMP Emergency Response Unit (ERT) and RCMP Police Dog Services (PDS), executed a search warrant at a residence in the community.
The search of the home led to the seizure of nine firearms that were illegally owned and obtained, over 130 grams of a substance believed to be crack cocaine, machetes, a sword, bear mace, and ammunition.
Larson Cromarty, 26, and a 17-year-old male youth were located inside the residence and were arrested without incident. They are remanded into custody on charges including Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime and Possession of Weapon for Dangerous Purpose (x8).
