VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Three Surrey men suspected of trying to sell drugs have been busted by Langley Mounties after they decided to smoke some pot outside their car loaded full of weapons and drugs.
It started innocuously enough.
Someone called to complain about three men smoking pot on 203 street near Fraser Highway, so an officer checked it out.
But a search of the car led to some disturbing findings.
“The most disturbing item obviously is the loaded .45 calibre semiautomatic,” says Corporal Holly Largy. “But also found in the vehicle is a switchblade and a set of brass knuckles that have a built-in taser so that when you punch somebody, they actually give them a jolt of power as well.”
Largy says the car also contained 100 bags of heroin, 100 bags of crack cocaine and other drugs, including crystal meth and powder cocaine.
“You never know what you’re going to find as a result [of a search],” says Largy. “This turned into something way bigger than just three guys standing around smoking some pot.”
Also found in the car: $4,000 cash, a marijuana grinder and seven cell phones.
The three men have been released, but police will be recommending charges.
