ENFIELD: A man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant from the North West Territories was lodged in the cells in Enfield on April 7.

Cpl. Jonathan Neima said the man in his late 40s was arrested in PEI and transported to the East Hants RCMP detachment in Enfield for lodging.

The man, whose name was not released, is originally from PEI.

The warrant was for a sexual assault that occurred in the Inuvik area in 2020.

He is due in court upon his return to that territorial community.
