Vehicle stop yields drugs, weapons and explosive device

West Division police officers made a proactive vehicle stop early this morning that prompted EPS Bomb Unit to respond after a live explosive device was found.

On Thursday, Aug. 13, 2015 at 1:10 a.m., police conducted a traffic stop on a Chevrolet Malibu in the area of 180 Street and Stony Plain Road after deeming the vehicle suspicious with broken windows.

Four occupants were in the vehicle – two males and two females. While one female was being arrested for breach of recognizance, police obtained evidence that prompted all of the occupants to be arrested for drug related charges. As police searched the vehicle, weapons, ammunition, a homemade firearm and a homemade improvised explosive device (IED) were located.

EPS Bomb Unit was called out to the scene and successfully destroyed the IED.

Heather Wemp, 20, was charged with breach of recognizance (x4), and possession of a controlled substance.

Myles Caveny, 32, was charged with weapons for dangerous purpose, possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance.

Scott Coughlan, 33, had 13 criminal warrants executed and was charged with breach of recognizance (x2).

Another female passenger was released without charges.
