Plainclothes officers with the Abbotsford Police Department seized three handguns, six bags of drugs and thousands of dollars in cash Tuesday evening, the police department says.

While on patrol at 7 p.m. Tuesday, officers stopped a brown Jeep owned by a “known offender” in the 3200 block of Mt. Waddington Avenue after it left a “problem residence” in the area, APD writes in a press release.

Four people were inside the vehicle. One of them, a 34-year-old man, was arrested on outstanding warrants for possession of stolen property and driving offences.

Another passenger, a 43-year-old man who is known to police, had two guns “in plain view” at his feet.

A search of the Jeep produced an additional firearm, ammunition, drugs and cash.

The APD says they are recommending a “variety” of firearms and drug charges in this case.
