The three people inside the vehicle — a man and two women — were taken into custody.
One of the women had a Taser, BB gun and knife on her, which police seized.
The male, Darcy Dean Anderson, 32, of Kamloops, was charged with one count of possession of stolen property under $5,000 and driving while prohibited. He remains in custody and his next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 28.
