Three men are behind bars after a traffic stop Monday afternoon in North Kamloops turned up a loaded shotgun, police say.

RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said a Mountie pulled over a vehicle in the Northills Shopping Centre parking lot at about 1:30 p.m.

“There were three males and a female inside,” she said.

“One male was found to have an outstanding warrant and was arrested immediately. A loaded shotgun was found inside of the vehicle. The other two were arrested without incident.”
