  • Surrey Man Charged After Loaded Pistol, Drugs And Cash Seized During Traffic Stop
One man is charged after allegedly being in possession of a firearm following a routine traffic stop.
 
On January 23rd at 7:45pm, a member of Surrey RCMP’s Traffic Enforcement Services spotted a suspected stolen car. 
 
The officer pulled the car over and took the alleged driver, believed to be intoxicated, into custody. As a result of the arrest a loaded semi-automatic pistol, suspected illicit drugs, and a large sum of cash were seized.
 
Now charged is 31-year-old John SCHOCH of Surrey with 1 count of each of the following 5 offences:
 
Possession of a Loaded Firearm Without Registration or License
 
Possession of a Firearm Without Registration or License
 
Possession of a Firearm While Prohibited
 
Possession of Stolen Property
 
Impaired Operation of a Vehicle
 
 
The investigation is ongoing and more charges are possible. SCHOCH remains in custody.
 
Thanks to a sharp eye and quick thinking by this traffic officer, another gun is off the streets, says Corporal Scotty Schumann. In police work a seemingly routine event can quickly evolve into a significant investigation.
