Four people were arrested on various charges after police say a traffic stop in San Luis Obispo on Halloween resulted in the discovery of multiple drugs and a stolen handgun.

At around noon on Sunday, officers reportedly stopped a car for a traffic violation near the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Casa Street.

Police say a search of the vehicle uncovered various amounts of methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl, psilocybin mushrooms, prescription pills, and drug paraphernalia, along with a loaded gun that had recently been stolen from a home in San Luis Obispo County.

There were four people inside the car.
