Three men charged in connection with a pair of incidents on neighbouring First Nations, that Carlyle Mounties say are linked, were back in court on Wednesday (16th).

On July 28th, police were called to investigate an alleged assault outside a business on the Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation, that left a man seriously injured.

About an hour later, Mounties were notified that someone had discharged a firearm at a vehicle on the White Bear First Nation.
