Trail motel room explosion reveals firearms: police

Police say an explosion inside a Trail motel room sparked a fire, and uncovered firearms and ammunition.

On Feb. 10, Trail RCMP says it responded to an explosion inside a room at the Glenwood Inn.

Officers say the explosion triggered a fire in an adjacent room, which led to an evacuation.

No injuries were reported.

Upon searching the room, police say they found firearms and ammunition, leading to the arrest of a 48-year-old man found on scene and believed to be associated with the room.

He faces numerous firearm offences, police add.

Now, Mounties say they’re searching for another suspect, described as a male in his thirties, with dark hair, brown eyes and burn injuries.

Police caution people not to approach the suspect if spotted.

The cause of the explosion remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Trail & Greater District RCMP at (250) 364-2566.
