WINDSOR JUNCTION, N.S. – A Windsor Junction Man is facing firearms offences and a forcible confinement charge after an early morning incident on Windsor Junction Road early Tuesday

Halifax District RCMP say around at 2:00 AM on Tuesday, officers responded to a complaint of a woman being held in a vehicle while being threatened with a gun.

Police were able to locate the vehicle and arrest a man and say the firearm turned out to be a very realistic looking pellet gun.

RCMP also located a stolen vehicle during the investigation which they allege was being used by the accused.

Twenty-three year old Shane Frizzell is charged with several offences including forcible confinement, using an imitation firearm, and theft of motor vehicle.

He was scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Tuesday. The investigation is continuing.
