A raid on a Tamarack Avenue address has netted 19 firearms, ammunition, drugs and cash.

RCMP announced today (Feb. 4, 2026) the Crime Reduction Unit made the haul following a targeted investigation that started with a traffic stop on Jan. 8.

Police executed a search warrant yesterday in the 200-block of Tamarack Avenue and seized property that includes:

19 firearms
A significant quantity of ammunition
Illegal drugs
Undisclosed amount of Canadian currency

“By removing guns from the streets, we are taking proactive steps to reduce the potential for violent crime and enhance public safety,” said Sgt. Jason Pole, in charge of the Kamloops RCMP Detachment Crime Reduction Unit.

One man allegedly associated to the property was arrested prior to the search warrant being executed. He has since been released with charge recommendations anticipated as the investigation continues.

Police are encouraging anyone with information regarding criminal or gang-related activity to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

It’s a good thing we have all the gun restrictions because those laws keep guns out of the hands of criminals.

Take for example the 3-4. rifles in that photo already on the prohibited firearms list. This person was surely preparing to turn those guns into police just as soon as they could. Not only that, but they were also most certainly about to turn in the other restricted and unrestricted firearms in that photo just as soon as they could.

It’s a comforting feeling to know that the Liberals are ensuring our safety by making laws that prevent criminals from owning and possessing firearms in our communities.
