On Friday, April 18, 2025, members of Prince George RCMP’s Problem Oriented Policing Team were on patrol on the Hart Highway when they noted a pickup truck hauling a trailer, where the trailer did not appear to have functioning lights. Further investigation revealed the trailer did not have proper insurance.
A traffic stop was initiated by the police officers, who subsequently located a weapon inside the pickup truck. The driver and two passengers were arrested and a search of the vehicle and trailer was initiated.
Investigators located four firearms, ammunition, weapons, contraband cigarettes and a small amount of suspected Fentanyl. Both the driver and the passengers were released pending the full results of the investigation.
This is a great example of proactive police work, where something as simple as a traffic stop for non-functioning trailer lights leads to police officers removing guns and drugs from our streets, states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
