Two men from Big Island Lake were charged after RCMP seized drugs and illegal weapons during a traffic stop Wednesday night.
During a patrol on Big Island Lake Cree Territory, the Pierceland RCMP conducted a traffic stop and discovered that one suspect’s driver’s license had been suspended. Additionally, they spotted a conducted energy baton in plain sight inside the vehicle, leading to the arrest of both the driver and the passenger at the scene.
After conducting a thorough investigation, officers discovered 70 grams of methamphetamine in the car, some of which were divided into small bags.
As a result, a 35-year-old man and a 32-year-old man have each been charged with three offences, including possession of methamphetamine with the intent to traffic, possession of a prohibited weapon, and unlicensed possession of a prohibited weapon.
