The incident occurred on Tuesday evening at a R.I.D.E. check in Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg.
NETMIZAAGGAMIG NISHNAABEG — Two men in BWM allegedly fled police, drove into a lake, and attempted to swim away, said police, while modified automatic weapon was found at the scene
The incident occurred Tuesday evening in Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg, according to a news release issued by the Anishinabek Police Service Thursday. The me, both from Blind River, are facing a combined 27 charges.
According to the release, officers were conducting a R.I.D.E. program, when the BMW approached.
Officers identified the driver as a suspended driver and allegedly detected the odour of cannabis coming from the vehicle.
The driver was asked to pull the vehicle over, but instead accelerated forward at a high rate of speed, police said.
The vehicle continued through the community, said police, before entering White Lake and coming to rest underwater, about 50 feet from the shore.
A “high-risk arrest” was conducted after the driver and passenger exited and began swimming across the lake and returning to the beach of White Lake Provincial Park.
Both parties were taken into custody without incident, said the release.
A Glock 22 has been recovered from the scene.
“The Glock was loaded with five hollow point bullets, had an extended magazine, and was equipped with a Glock switch (an illegal, aftermarket device attached to the rear of the slide that renders the gun into a fully automatic weapon). Its serial number had been defaced,” the release continued.
The 28-year-old driver is facing 15 charges, including driving while under suspension, flight from peace officer, and making an automatic firearm.
He was previously charged, in June of this year, with dangerous driving causing bodily harm and obstructing justice, following a side-by-side collision.
The passenger, a 21-year-old man from Blind River, is facing 12 charges, including obstructing a peace officer, carrying concealed weapon, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Police did not identify the accused. The release said both individuals were held for bail.
Both accused had been living with community members, said police. “As a result, under the new Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg trespassing and safety Naaknigewin, trespass notices have been issued to both parties by the Anishinabek Police Service.
“This law – in effect since Sept. 3 – provides APS officers with the lawful authority required to work with the community to trespass individuals who are causing harm,” the release said.
The release confirmed that this is the first incident in which the Naaknigewin has been applied.

根據警方消息，兩名男子涉嫌駕車逃離警方追捕，將一輛寶馬車開進湖裡，車內還藏有一把改裝過的葛洛克手槍。這起事件發生在週二晚間，地點位於內特米扎加米格納布格（Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg）的原住民社區，當時警方正在進行酒駕臨檢（R.I.D.E. check）。
警方通報：兩名男子駕寶馬車衝進湖中，企圖游泳逃跑
根據阿尼什納貝克（Anishinabek）警察局週四發布的新聞稿，這起事件發生在週二晚間，兩名來自盲河（Blind River）的男子共面臨 27 項指控。
新聞稿指出，事發當時，警方正在執行「道路清醒檢查計劃」（R.I.D.E. program），一輛寶馬車駛近臨檢點。警員發現駕駛的駕照已被吊銷，並聞到車內散發出大麻氣味。當警員要求駕駛停車時，對方卻猛踩油門加速逃逸。警方表示，車輛在社區內繼續行駛，最後衝入白湖（White Lake），在距岸邊約 50 英尺的水下停了下來。駕駛和乘客下車後，試圖游過湖面返回白湖省立公園（White Lake Provincial Park）的沙灘。警方隨後進行了「高風險逮捕」行動，並在無衝突下將兩人拘捕。
涉案槍枝細節與嫌犯指控
警方在現場找到了一把 葛洛克 22 手槍。新聞稿稱，這把槍裝有五發空尖彈，配備加長彈匣，並裝了一個名為 「葛洛克開關」（Glock switch） 的非法裝置。這個裝置安裝在滑套後方，能將半自動手槍改裝成全自動武器。此外，這把槍的序號也已被塗銷。
28 歲的駕駛面臨 15 項指控，包括駕照吊銷期間駕駛、拒絕配合警員執法以及製造全自動槍械。他今年六月曾因另一起並排車輛相撞事故，被控危險駕駛致人受傷和妨礙司法公正。21 歲的乘客同樣來自盲河，面臨 12 項指控，包括妨礙警員執法、攜帶隱藏武器以及持有武器作危險用途。警方未公布兩名嫌犯的身份，但表示兩人均被拘留，等待保釋。
新法規首次應用：驅逐有害個人
警方表示，兩名嫌犯當時住在社區成員家中。根據 9 月 3 日生效的新《內特米扎加米格納布格侵入與安全法規》（Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg trespassing and safety Naaknigewin），阿尼什納貝克警察局已向這兩人發出侵入警告。新聞稿指出：「這項法律賦予警察合法權力，與社區合作驅逐那些造成危害的個人。」同時證實，這是該法規自頒布以來首次被應用。
