A minor drug bust unfolded in the Central Okanagan this week when police pulled a vehicle over on Monday afternoon.
Lake Country RCMP say an officer pulled the vehicle over along Carrs Landing Road after spotting a Motor Vehicle Act infraction.
Police say as the officer approached the vehicle, drug paraphernalia and suspected drugs were observed.
The driver and two passengers were arrested, with police saying they found 18 grams of suspected fentanyl and 48 grams of suspected meth plus prescription pills, several thousand dollars in Canadian currency and a digital scale.
