Drugs and just under $4,500 in cash were seized, say Kelowna RCMP, following a traffic stop on Wednesday night.

According to police, a woman who was known to them was spotted driving a white Infiniti G35 into a parking lot on Bernard Avenue and Gordon Drive around 11:23 p.m.

RCMP say the woman doesn’t have an active driver’s license, so a traffic stop was conducted.

“The officer noted in plain view drug paraphernalia that included glass pipes, Brillo and dime bags in the centre console,” said Kelowna RCMP, “which provided the evidence needed to conduct the arrest of the female for possession of a controlled substance.”
