A frontline member of the Chilliwack RCMP was on patrol Wednesday (Aug. 13) when he clocked a vehicle being driven around near downtown at about 3 a.m. with no insurance.

The officer stopped the vehicle, noting that there were three people inside.

As the RCMP member was executing the traffic stop he spotted other arrestable offences, and all three were arrested and removed from the vehicle.

After the search of the vehicle and its occupants they seized a loaded restricted handgun with three magazines, bulk quantities of drugs, more than $18,000 in cash, and multiple cell phones were located.

Turns out the handgun had been stolen from a Northern B.C in a break-and-enter incident on a residence in 2023.

"This investigation is ongoing," said Sgt. Alexandra Mulvihill.
