Quesnel RCMP seized two loaded handguns and drugs in two separate incidents.
Sergeant Clay Kronebusch said an officer conducted a traffic stop on Saturday, Sept. 26, near the Anderson Drive soccer fields.
“The officer arrested a 21-year-old Quesnel woman for impaired operation and drug possession. Police seized a small amount of various drugs, cash and a loaded pistol in the vehicle.”
Kronebusch said the woman has since been released from custody pending further investigation.
He said the results of the investigation will be sent to the BC Prosecution Service for assessment of appropriate charges.
Kronebusch said the second incident happened on Monday, Sept. 28.
“Officers responding to a suspicious vehicle report arrested a 37-year-old Quesnel man after spotting a handgun inside his vehicle. Police officers seized a loaded pistol with an over-capacity magazine as well as various drugs.”
Jade Bennett has now been charged with six firearm offences and is due back in court on October 6, 2026 for a bail hearing.
