A 43-year-old man has been charged after he allegedly broke into a home in Rankin Inlet, threatened those inside and fired a gun.

Police responded to a call at around 8:40 p.m. Wednesday about a break and enter on Tuungaaq Street, said a news release issued Friday by RCMP.

No injuries were reported, the release said.

Officers arrested the suspect without incident.

He faces several charges, including break and enter, using a firearm in the commission of an offence and carrying a weapon for a dangerous purpose. 

The man also faces two counts each of pointing a firearm and uttering threats to cause death, discharging a firearm and two counts of unsafe storage of a firearm.

He was taken into custody and is scheduled to appear in court May 19 in Iqaluit.

    Why not name the name that is in there RCMP release? I am shocked as NN would usually link it to their other articles with this individual.

    Corey time to look through the archives… Something about stealing a container from a competing business and setting it on fire…
