COLD LAKE - A tip about a stolen vehicle led Cold Lake RCMP to a residence on Cold Lake First Nations, resulting in the recovery of three stolen vehicles, the seizure of numerous firearms and the arrest of three individuals on Sept. 1.
Cold Lake RCMP report one of the stolen vehicles contained a loaded shotgun along with ammunition.
