A handgun and cash are shown in this photo provided by the Upper Fraser Valley Detachment of the RCMP. Mounties who pulled over a driver with no insurance early Wednesday morning ended up arresting three people and seizing a loaded handgun, drugs, cash and cellphones. An officer pulled the vehicle over around 3 a.m. near the intersection of Yale Road and Hazel Street in Chilliwack, according to authorities. 'When the member stopped the vehicle there were three occupants inside. As the member was conducting the traffic stop, he observed other arrestable offences, and all three occupants were arrested and removed from the vehicle,' a spokesperson for the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment wrote in a statement. A search of the vehicle found 'bulk quantities of drugs,' $18,000 in cash, a number of cellphones and a prohibited firearm, police said. The gun was found to have been stolen from a home in Northern B.C. in 2023, Mounties added. 'This investigation is ongoing. Multiple judicial authorizations will be done, firearms tracing, drug expert reports, and drug analysis are just some of the things that will be required to get this investigation to where charges can be laid,' the statement from the detachment said.
