Lloydminster RCMP arrest quartet, seize gun

Four people are expected back in court to answer to weapons charges after they were arrested in Lloydminster.

On Jan. 19 at about 2:45 a.m. Lloydminster RCMP were patrolling along Highway 16 when they tried to stop a vehicle after they reported the driver had committed a traffic infraction.

The vehicle did not stop. Officers say it took off at high speed and they did not pursue. The vehicle was last seen heading northbound on 56 Avenue.

Shortly after, RCMP were called to a single-vehicle collision near 67 Street and 50 Avenue. They determined it was the same vehicle that had failed to stop earlier.

Officers arrested the lone occupant of the vehicle and found a loaded 22-calibre pistol within reach of the driver.

Police realized also, that three other passengers had fled the vehicle on foot in an eastbound direction. The Police Dog Services (PDS) was called into action and tracked the three suspects resulting in their arrests.

Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
