A pair of alleged border jumpers was arrested at gunpoint on the Richmond end of the Oak Street Bridge Tuesday afternoon.
The men were caught with several bags of drugs inside their blue car, according to the RCMP.
Deas Island RCMP Traffic Services officers, with guns drawn, took down the pair shortly after 2 p.m., after being alerted to a "suspicious activity" at the border and spotting their car northbound on Highway 99.
The men, believed to be Canadian, were taken down in a procedure where "there's really not much that a person could do but comply," according to the RCMP.
The two will spend the night in jail Tuesday and, by Wednesday, preliminary test results of the "unknown substance" in their bags will allow RCMP to recommend initial charges.
