KAMLOOPS — A two-vehicle crash near the Summit Connector early Monday morning (Oct. 30) gave RCMP more than they bargained for.

According to detachment spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn, the crash between a white pickup truck and red SUV took place at the intersection of Victoria Street West and Mission Flats Road.

Investigating RCMP officers found a knife, brass knuckles and a loaded semi-automatic gun.

“The red SUV was also found to be uninsured and outfitted with a mismatched license plate,” said Evelyn.

RCMP also seized some suspected illegal drugs exceeding personal exemption limits.
