It was a busy start to the long weekend for members of 100 Mile House RCMP.
Sargeant Brian Lamb says on Friday August 29th police were conducting patrols when a vehicle was observed and the driver was identified as having an outstanding arrest warrant.
“Police stopped the vehicle where contraband cigarettes as well as a loaded firearm were found inside the vehicle.” Lamb said, “The adult male was arrested for the warrant which was in relation to a fraud offence as well as possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose.”
Lamb says the male was later released to attend court at a later date and the investigation is continuing.
