A man has been charged after RCMP in Saskatchewan seized about $150,000 worth of marijuana and hashish during a traffic stop.
Around 3:45 p.m. Wednesday, Mounties stopped a vehicle for speeding while passing an emergency vehicle with its lights activated on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Sintaluta.
RCMP say a search of the vehicle turned up 22 pounds of marijuana and a half pound of hashish.
A 52-year-old B.C. man was arrested and charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.
The man, whose name hasn’t been released, made his first court appearance in Fort Qu’Appelle on Thursday morning. He’s due back in court in Regina on Feb. 28.
