A Williams Lake male and female are facing criminal charges following an RCMP vehicle stop Saturday afternoon.
On April 22 at 1:05 p.m. general duty investigators of the Williams Lake RCMP conducted a vehicle stop which led to the arrest of four individuals.
During the traffic stop, officers located a number of illegal items including a prohibited firearm, ammunition and a quantity of suspected drugs, the RCMP said in a press release.
“Enhancing community safety and pro-actively targeting violent individuals involved with firearms and drugs will remain to be a detachment priority,” Insp. Jeff Pelley said. “The behaviour and intent of any individuals involved in these type of offences will not be tolerated with full accountability being sought through the courts."
The investigation is ongoing and remains a priority for general duty investigators.
Anyone with information about drug trafficking or illegal possession of firearms is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
