Three men were arrested when police stopped a vehicle near 124 Street and 82 Avenue after a passerby reported seeing what they believed to be a handgun.<\/p>\n
Surrey Police Service Staff Sergeant Lindsey Houghton told the Now-Leader that police received a call from a passerby at 5:20 a.m. Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo weapon\u2019s been recovered,\u201d he said. \u201cSomeone saw what they believe was a firearm.<\/p>\n
\u201cMembers responded, located the vehicle driving, initiated their emergency equipment, it pulled over and they arrested three people.\u201d<\/p>\n
There is a housing co-op, Kennedy Trail Park and Kennedy Trail Elementary School in the vicinity.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt all happened right near that co-op. I don\u2019t have any information about a pursuit or anything. They conducted a high-risk vehicle takedown and three people were arrested,\u201d Houghton said.<\/p>\n
Two were released and one is in custody.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe area\u2019s been searched and no weapon\u2019s been found or recovered and we would always ask if anyone finds or sees what they think is a weapon to phone 911 immediately,\u201d Houghton said.<\/p>\n
Asked if police dogs were used to search the area, Houghton replied, \u201cThat I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked if a crime had been committed prior to the arrests, leading to a police pursuit, Houghton replied, \u201cNo, just a call from a passerby that they believed what they saw was a weapon inside the vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was mobile and somebody phoned in saying they saw what they thought was a weapon in the vehicle,\u201d he said. \u201cJust a call from a passerby.<\/p>\n
