Police in Kamloops, B.C., say they seized guns and a "significant" amounts of drugs after finding a man sleeping inside a running vehicle at a restaurant parking lot.
A statement from the RCMP says officers saw "numerous weapons" in plain view as they approached the truck Monday to check on the driver.
Police say they found a loaded handgun, ammunition, and body armour, along with a modified rifle and loaded magazines.
Supt. Jeff Pelley says police also seized more than 1.5 kilograms of suspected fentanyl and 85 grams of cocaine.
The statement says the man in his late 30s was arrested and released, but police expect to recommend charges as part of the ongoing investigation.
Pelley says the situation underscores the risks front-line officers face while responding to what may initially seem like a routine call.
