Officers also located and seized “British Columbia Warriors” gang clothing, a restricted firearm, several replica firearms and an apparent stun gun.

A 40-year old man and 32-year old woman were detained on scene and have since been released. Police will be recommending charges against both once their investigation is completed.

“We’re glad to get these harmful drugs, firearm and weapons off of our streets,” says Cpl. Bryan Mulrooney of the West Kelowna RCMP CRU.
