A lunch-hour roadside check by Bonnyville RCMP on February 24 led to the seizure of weapons and drugs and the arrest of two men.
RCMP say the driver of a pickup truck fled during the stop on 66th Street, but the vehicle broke down less than a kilometre away. Both occupants ran on foot, but officers caught them. Police say they found a handgun, brass knuckles, knives, crystal meth, suspected fentanyl, and cash.
Derek Drake, 35, of Cold Lake, and Andrew Heigh, 33, of Edmonton, face multiple charges and remain in custody.
