The Rocky Mountain House RCMP Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) made arrests on April 1, and seized three loaded firearms from within a vehicle.

One of these firearms, police say, was a sawed-off shotgun.

At 11:34 p.m., members of the CRU were conducting proactive patrols in Caroline as a part of their crime reduction mandate. The officers spotted a vehicle being operated in a suspicious manner and conducted a traffic stop.

Police say in a release that the passenger in the vehicle immediately fled from the vehicle, but was apprehended shortly and found to have an outstanding arrest warrant. The driver was also arrested on scene.

CRU members seized the firearms, ammunition, as well as what is believed to be methamphetamine, following a search of the vehicle.
