  • Bust results in seizure of cash and drugs: Kelowna RCMP

R-C-M-P in Kelowna say the keen eye of an officer conducting a traffic stop led to a disruption in the local drug trade.

They say the officer stopped a green 1997 Toyota Corolla on April 29th after it failed to stop for a pedestrian crossing the street at a marked crosswalk.

When the officer had the driver exit the vehicle on suspicion of driving under the influence, a clear baggy of suspected drugs fell to the ground.

A subsequent search of the vehicle turned up roughly 870-dollars in cash and drugs including methamphetamines, cocaine and fentanyl and the driver has now been charged.
