A traffic stop in southern Alberta has resulted in prostitution-related charges, RCMP announced on Monday.
On June 4, Gleichen RCMP assisted Wheatland County with a “suspicious vehicle stop” in the area of Highway 901 on the Siksika Nation at around 3 p.m.
Police said their early investigation showed the occupants of the vehicle were in possession of drugs and were in “transport to conduct illicit activities when they were stopped for a traffic-related offence,” according to the news release.
