A 42-year old man, from Saint-Liguori, Quebec, has been arrested and a loaded firearm has been seized following a dangerous driving complaint near Woodstock, N.B.
On August 5, 2024, at approximately 1:30 a.m., members of the Western Valley Region RCMP responded to reports of a vehicle travelling Eastbound in the Westbound lane on Highway 2.
