Police in North Vancouver say they arrested a pair of suspects on gun and drug offences after a routine traffic stop last week.

North Vancouver R-C-M-P say they stopped a Volkswagen after officers spotted it travelling the wrong direction on a one-way road at one A-M last Friday.

Police say they stopped the vehicle and the driver got out and ran away before being arrested after a 10-minute chase.

Investigators say they found a shotgun, drugs, money, and stolen goods in the vehicle and arrested a man in his 30s who now faces charges of impaired driving, possession of stolen property, drug trafficking, among other offences.
