Kamloops RCMP say a stolen vehicle led to them seizing a loaded shotgun from a Valleyview motel room early yesterday morning.
Spokesperson Const. Crystal Evelyn says around 2:30 a.m. yesterday, an officer who was on patrol spotted a vehicle that was reported stolen out of Surrey, parked at the Country Motor Inn on Comazzetto Road.
“The vehicle was unoccupied, but during the course of their investigation, police were able to associate it to a motel room,”she said. “Two people were arrested and suspected drugs and firearms were seized, including a loaded sawed-off shotgun and ammunition.”
Evelyn says the pair were later released, and the investigation is ongoing.
