Three individuals are in custody awaiting court dates in Slave Lake following a traffic stop in the community on Friday, November 15.

Slave Lake RCMP say just after 11:00 p.m., they conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle avoiding a check-stop.

The driver of the vehicle was arrested on outstanding warrants. Police removed the driver from the vehicle and found a sawed-off rifle in the vehicle and two passengers were arrested as well.

A prohibited magazine with ammunition was also in the vehicle at the feet of one of the passengers, and the other was found to have 60 grams of methamphetamine on the person.

More meth and ammunition was found once officers conducted a further search warrant on the vehicle.
