A driver heading into Saskatchewan from Alberta last week is facing more than a speeding ticket after police said he had two kilograms of meth in his vehicle.

The vehicle was speeding and swerving over the shoulder line while travelling east on Highway 16 near Maidstone on Feb. 9, the RCMP said.

Officers said a substance believed to be cocaine was in plain view while they were talking with the driver, who was arrested.
