Gun Seizure

Mounties pull arsenal from North Shore home

KAMLOOPS — RCMP say they seized a cache of nearly 20 guns when they stormed a Kamloops North Shore home Tuesday (Feb. 3).

In a news release, Sgt. Jason Pole of the detachment’s Crime Reduction Unit says members launched the investigation last month with a traffic stop.

That led to Mounties obtaining a search warrant from a home in the 200-block of Tamarack Avenue. Officers searched the property Tuesday, finding and seizing 19 guns and a ‘significant quantity’ of ammunition. They also confiscated undisclosed amounts of illegal drugs and cash.

A man believed to be associated with the property was arrested before the search took place. He has since been released but RCMP expect he will face charges.
