Firearms, drugs and stolen vehicles
Drugs, firearms and stolen vehicles were on the radar for Cranbrook RCMP yesterday morning.
Cranbrook RCMP is investigating after a vehicle was stolen from the Tim Hortons in Creston on Sunday morning (April 3). The owner of the truck had picked up two female hitchhikers from the Lower Mainland and was on his way to Newfoundland when he stopped at Timmy’s. As he went inside the females drove away in his truck.
On Monday morning, the Cranbrook RCMP Police Dog Service team located the stolen truck, along with a second suspected stolen vehicle near Moyie Lake on Highway 3/95. Two females and a male were immediately arrested. Two vehicles were seized and searched.
The 29-year-old male from the Lower Mainland had homemade explosives and a loaded prohibited firearm within reach of the driver. The two females, aged 19 and 24 and also from the Lower Mainland, were in possession of a substantial amount of money and what is suspected to be crystal meth and marijuana. The two females also have outstanding warrants from the Lower Mainland for Careless Use of a Firearm, Possess Firearm without license and Possession of Stolen Property.
All three individuals will make appearances before the courts today.
