Two individuals with outstanding arrest warrants were busted trying to gain entry into a home in Portage la Prairie last week.

According to police, on March 3, shortly after 11 p.m., Portage RCMP received a report of three people trying to gain entry into a home in the 400 block of 1st Street NW.

Police say officers attended and located the three people a short distance away, and no entry had been gained into the house. Of the three suspects, two had outstanding arrest warrants, and were subsequently arrested and taken to the Portage la Prairie RCMP Detachment.

A 20-year old man and a 25-year old woman, both from Portage, were held and appeared in court the next day. The third person, who police say was intoxicated, was arrested and released when sober without charges.
