Two people with alleged gang connections filed applications with the court for the return of seized items from their home in September, a few months before a fire gutted the house.
The applications were listed on Wednesday's court docket for Joey Lamont Arrance and Kirsten Sabrina Fredin. They follow on the heels of Prince George RCMP's announcement earlier this month of a recovery $250,000 in jewelry, cash and firearms from locations around the city.
Arrance made a brief appearance before a justice of the peace at Prince George provincial court via video from the correctional centre on Wednesday for fire arms related charges and sexual assault.
He is in the process of changing lawyers, and his case is next scheduled for consideration on Feb. 9. Fredin faces fire arms related charges and her case will also be considered Feb. 9.
In announcing the seizures last Tuesday, police maintained they amounted to the biggest proceeds-of-crime bust in the city's history. At the time, RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass said although others are believed to be involved, the focus of the seizures has been on one high-ranking member of The Game Tight Soldiers who is also connected to the Renegades Motorcycle Gang.
The items, which included $40,000 in cash, jewelry such as diamond rings, heavy, guilded chains, a diamond and gold pendant, believed to be custom made, three handguns, a machine gun and eight ounces of cocaine were seized during the past six months in six different locations.
Arrance and Fredin were arrested on Sept. 19 at a home at 4337 of Foster Road, where police seized a 10 mm Glock handgun and spare magazine as well as a pineapple-style grenade and a body armour vest.
In late November, the home was gutted by a fire from which Fredin's mother later died from extensive burns. The blaze was set 22 hours after The Twisted Soul Tattoo Parlor, owned by Arrance, was also gutted by fire.
Both were gang-related arsons, police say.
