Four people from Dawson Creek are facing charges connected to the seizure of drugs and guns by Grande Prairie RCMP.
According to officials, on Saturday officers attempted to pull over a Chevrolet Cruze that is alleged to have a stolen plate. The driver fled from the officers and the Grande Prairie RCMP Crime Reduction Unit located the vehicle later parked at a hotel.
According to a statement from police, “The occupants got out of the vehicle and fled into a room in a neighbouring motel while carrying a guitar case.”
The individuals are said to have exited the motel after police called out to them. Police did a sweep of the room when they reported seeing guns resulting in a search warrant being obtained. During their search police seized a significant amount of cocaine, meth and fentanyl, along with dozens of oxy pills. Police also seized a stolen rifle, a semi-auto .22 and a shotgun, along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
Four people,including a youth, were arrested at the hotel with a warrant issued for the arrest of a fourth person.
The four are all facing gun and drugs-related charges, including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
