Loaded guns found in traffic stop

KAMLOOPS – Police made what appears to be an average traffic stop in Valleyview last night but what they found inside the vehicle wasn't so ordinary.

Cpl. John Edinger of Kamloops RCMP says the vehicle was stopped just before 11 p.m. Inside they found three men and two loaded firearms, along with drugs and cash. Police arrested the three men and they remain in custody. They are "known to police," Erdinger said. Police continue their investigation.

  1. God bless the men and women in the RCMP!Over the years this job has become more and more dangerous. You are very much appreciated by more people than you know.

  2. Thanks again to the RCMP.Imagine where our town would be without such good cops.

  3. Scary. Although they showed consideration in pulling over when signaled to do so as opposed to fleeing with guns blazing. As real gansta would…lol losers.
