Proactive patrols by RCMP resulted in the seizure of a sawed-off shotgun and the arrest of three people.
According to Peace Regional RCMP, officers were conducting the patrol around 11 p.m. Wednesday when they saw and pulled over a vehicle that they believed was connected to someone who was released from custody with a curfew condition. During the traffic stop officers are reported to have found the sawed-off shotgun.
A 22-year-old Peace River woman is facing firearms-related charges including unsafe storage of firearms. She has been released from custody and is set to return to court at the end of the month.
A 34-year-old Peace River man is also facing firearms related charges, along with additional charges for failing to comply with a release order and public mischief. He has since been remanded into custody.
According to RCMP officials, the third person can not be identified because their information has not been sworn in court.
