CENTRALIA, Wash. — Two people from Idaho driving a stolen car have been arrested in Centralia after trying to sell guns and drugs.
Around noon on Jan. 3, Centralia police got calls about three people trying to sell firearms and drugs.
Police used the Flock Safety Cameras to search for the suspects’ car and developed a suspicion that it may have been stolen.
Police said the car was stolen after a carjacking in Meridian, Idaho.
After police confirmed that the car was stolen, they went undercover and convinced the suspects that they could sell the guns and drugs.
A 23-year-old man and woman from Idaho returned only to be arrested during a traffic stop.
With a search warrant in hand, police searched the car and found two semi-automatic rifles, a shotgun, 3 handguns and one ghost gun.
Police said they also found ammunition, a large quantity of marijuana and other narcotics in the car.
Both were taken to Lewis County Jail on suspicion of possession of a stolen car, possession of a stolen firearm and conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance.
The man may face additional charges for gun possession since he is a felon.
