A routine traffic stop in central Alberta led to a cocaine and methamphetamine seizure worth over $80,000 last week, according to police.
On Dec. 8, a Blackfalds RCMP member stopped a vehicle on Highway 2 near 67 Street. Police said the driver was pulled over after travelling “at a high rate of speed” and changing lanes without signalling.
When the officer searched the driver and the vehicle, a gun, cash and cellphone were also found.
