Two men will be facing criminal charges after police seized drugs worth roughly three million dollars following a routine traffic stop in East Vancouver on Tuesday evening.
Officers stopped two men in an SUV at about 7:30 p.m. after they saw what was considered suspicious behaviour. Police then found what they believed to be about four kilograms of cocaine. The SUV was eventually towed and police got a warrant to continue searching.
The vehicle search the next day turned up an additional 52 kilograms of cocaine.
The two men, one in his 20s and the other in his 30s, have been released pending further investigation and lab results on the contents of alleged drugs found in the vehicle.
Police expect to recommend charges related to the possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking.
While the drugs are estimated to be worth $3 million, on the street they are valued at about $4.5 million.
