Kelowna RCMP say an investigation is underway after a call for a possible impaired driver in Kelowna turned into a significant seizure of drugs and weapons.

Police say it happened Sunday, not far from the downtown core as two men in a Mercedes-Benz tried unsuccessfully to drive out of a parkade as police arrived.

The RCMP statement says both men had mandatory firearms prohibitions and one tried to avoid police by hiding in the trunk of the car and, when discovered, was within arms reach of multiple loaded firearms.

In addition to possibly stolen property and drugs including crack cocaine, police say items in the Mercedes included an AR 15-style rifle with a 30 round high-capacity magazine, a loaded pump-action shotgun, two semi-automatic rifles and several replica firearms.
