Upon investigation, RCMP say a man and woman were both found in the vehicle with three young children.
Mounties say they believe both adults were intoxicated, however, both individuals refused to provide a breath sample. RCMP say they were arrested.
Mounties also say a firearm was found in the vehicle.
