The vehicle was stopped on Victoria Crescent and while approaching the car, the officer saw two large knives on the back seat and a large bundle of money sticking out of the driver香蕉视频直播檚 pocket.
When identified, it was learned the 46-year-old driver had an outstanding warrant for break-and-enter and uttering threats, and he was subsequently arrested.

A black replica Beretta CO2 firearm was also found under the front seat of the vehicle, which was of concern, as it was easily within reach of the driver and thankfully it didn香蕉视频直播檛 come into play, said Const. Gary O香蕉视频直播橞rien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman.
RCMP officers occasionally come across people with replica firearms and it is sometimes hard for them to discern if the weapons are real or not, O香蕉视频直播橞rien said in the press release.

In addition, the suspect vehicle香蕉视频直播檚 tires had 香蕉视频直播渧irtually no tread,香蕉视频直播� was towed and won香蕉视频直播檛 be allowed back on the road until such time as they are replaced with road-worthy tires, said the press release.
