A Prince George couple was arrested Saturday when RCMP seized a trove of drugs, guns and cash from a short-term rental property in Sorrento.

Items uncovered by police included 650 grams of suspected fentanyl, 100 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 16 grams of suspected cocaine and just over 30 grams of suspected heroin along with a loaded .22 calibre handgun, .22 calibre sawed off semi-automatic rifle, and a sawed off double barrelled shotgun and thousands of dollars in cash.

RCMP had arrested a 30-year-old woman and a 59-year-old man, both from Prince George, prior to executing a search warrant on the property in the community a short drive north of Salmon Arm.

Names of the two were not released and charges remain pending approval by federal Crown counsel.
