PRINCE GEORGE — Three people were arrested following a traffic stop on the Hart Highway on April 18.

Prince George RCMP pulled over a pickup truck hauling a trailer because it did not have functioning lights.

Further investigation revealed the trailer did not have proper insurance and once police searched the vehicle, they located four firearms, ammunition, weapons, contraband cigarettes and a small amount of suspected fentanyl.

The driver and two passengers were arrested and released pending the results of the investigation.

“This is a great example of proactive police work, where something as simple as a traffic stop for non-functioning trailer lights leads to police officers removing guns and drugs from our streets,” says Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer for the Prince George RCMP.
