A new court date has been set for one of two men, arrested following an armed robbery on the Sapotaweyak Cree Nation.

On November 2, Swan River RCMP responded to a report of a man who allegedly assaulted two men, and forced them to empty their pockets and turn over their cell phones at gunpoint.  

27-year-old Cheyenne Cook and two other people were later arrested in a vehicle at the gas station in Mafeking.

Cook was in Swan River Court yesterday (Wed), where he was remanded in custody to January 15.
