Two people are facing several charges following a traffic stop on a Manitoba highway.
Officers with the Virden RCMP located a vehicle on Highway 21, in Sioux Valley Dakota Nation, at approximately 11:45 p.m. on Jan. 3. A traffic stop was conducted after police said the vehicle was travelling under the speed limit.
The driver, a 40-year-old female from the community, was found to have breached her curfew conditions and was arrested. The 35-year-old male passenger had an outstanding warrant and was arrested.
A search of the vehicle, according to police, led to the seizure of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, and a rifle with ammunition.
The two face drug-related charges, with the driver facing additional firearm charges.
Both were released with a later court date.
