An early morning traffic stop landed a prohibited driver in cuffs and seizure of a loaded gun.

A Vernon North Okanagan RCMP member was patrolling in the 4300 block of 25th Avenue at 2:45 a.m. on Monday, May 31, when they pulled over a vehicle for a traffic offence.

The driver was found to have an active driving ban. After arresting the driver without incident the officer continued his investigation, which led to the discovery and seizure of a fully-loaded .45 calibre handgun inside the vehicle.
