Salmon Arm RCMP do not know what the bikers were up to, but they suspect it could not have been any good.
Four men associated with the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club are in custody after the seizure of a small arsenal of weapons.
RCMP say one of the men is from Kelowna.
Police stopped the men’s speeding vehicle on the TransCanada Highway near Salmon Arm at approximately 10 pm on Thursday.
After detecting an odour of marijuana, police searched the car and found several firearms including a sawed off shot gun, three handguns and a large quantity of ammunition.
Police also recovered a bulletproof vest, a baseball bat, an axe handle, black balaclavas, knives, bear spray and a radio jamming device designed to block outgoing transmissions.
RCMP say the men’s destination and intentions are unknown since they are not cooperating with investigators.
Charges are pending.
