    RCMP say they'll be recommending charges against the males aged 17, 20 and 23, who are all from neighbouring Surrey.
     
    Police say officers responded to a report of males smoking pot on the street Aug. 26, arrested the suspects and searched their vehicle.
     
    Officers seized a loaded .45 handgun allegedly stolen from Calgary, brass knuckles with a built-in stun gun and a switchblade.
