KAMLOOPS - Police made what appears to be an average traffic stop in Valleyview last night but what they found inside the vehicle wasn't so ordinary.

Cpl. John Edinger of Kamloops RCMP says the vehicle was stopped just before 11 p.m. Inside they found three men and two loaded firearms, along with drugs and cash. Police arrested the three men and they remain in custody. They are "known to police," Erdinger said. Police continue their investigation.
