Taylor Curl, who is 29 and from Red Deer, is facing drug and firearms-related charges, including one count of possessing a firearm with a tampered serial number.

RCMP say they stopped another vehicle on New Year’s Day in Red Deer County and noticed a prohibited gun magazine inside.

A search turned up the sub-machine gun, two loaded magazines for the firearm and other weapons.

Jeromy Arsenault and Steve Matson, both of Rimbey, and Katelin Savard of Innisfail face multiple firearms offences.
