SICAMOUS, B.C. — RCMP say a traffic stop in British Columbia’s southern Interior led to the discovery of about 73 kilograms of cocaine in a vehicle.
Insp. Lori Orstad with B.C. Highway Patrol says their preliminary investigation suggests the discovery earlier this month has “all the earmarks of organized crime.”
Police say officers arrested the 28-year-old man from Surrey who was driving the vehicle, and he’s since been released with conditions and a scheduled court date.
A statement from police says the traffic stop on Oct. 8 involved a roadblock on the Trans Canada Highway near Malakwa, east of Sicamous.
