Firearms charges laid

PRINCE GEORGE— The Prince George RCMP received a report of unwanted persons at a residence in Salmon Valley, B.C., approximately 30 kilometres north of Prince George Friday afternoon. 

Frontline officers attended the residence and learned there were persons squatting in the residence and refusing to open the door. Officers entered the residence and removed the lone adult male occupant. A Criminal Code search warrant was obtained as a result of the observations made by officers while in the residence.  

The search found two loaded firearms, a pistol and a long gun, an unloaded long gun, brass knuckles, ammunition, and small amounts of cocaine, psilocybin, and heroin/fentanyl. The man was arrested for firearms offences.

An adult female believed to be associated to the property was located in a vehicle near-by and was then arrested.
