Grande Prairie RCMP seize revolver, drugs after traffic stop

Two people are facing charges after Mounties seized a revolver, along with various alleged drug paraphernalia in a vehicle following a traffic stop earlier this month.

The Grande Prairie RCMP says officers conducted a traffic stop on a Ford F150 with allegedly faulty equipment at an undisclosed time on May 8th, when conducting the stop, police believed to have spotted drugs and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle and arrested the two occupants.

A search of the vehicle turned up a stolen revolver with its associated ammunition as well as a small amount of what is believed to be crack cocaine, as well as unstamped tobacco.

A 40-year-old woman, and 39 year-old man, both from Grande Prairie, are now facing a handful of firearm related charges. Both will appear in court later this month.
