Multiple RCMP resources were utilized including the National Weapons Enforcement Team, the Crisis Negotiator Team, and Containment Team.
As a result, nine firearms were seized including a prohibited firearm as well as eight garbage bags containing psilocybin mushrooms and two plastic containers containing marijuana.
Police say a 64-year-old man, a 35-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman of Greenwood were arrested for assault causing bodily harm, forcible confinement, and uttering threats.
