Not so fast: two arrested for possession during traffic stop

CHASE – Police thought they smelled something skunky when they pulled a speeding rental car over on Hwy 1 at Chase yesterday.

The smell turned out to be marijunana and two men, the 43-year-old driver and 23-year-old passenger, both from Agassiz were arrested for possession of marijuana.

A further search by RCMP uncovered 27 pounds of marijuana, hidden in the hatch area.

The suspects were released on a recognizance and a recommendation for charges will be forward to Crown counsel. 

The first court date will take place in March, 2014.
