North District Corporal Madonna Saunderson said on Thursday June 12, 2025, a member of BC Highway Patrol was conducting enforcement along Highway 97 near Alexandria.
“A northbound vehicle as exhibiting some odd driving behaviour.” Saunderson said, “The officer stopped the vehicle and quickly discovered that the driver and passenger are known to police. Evidence gained during the interaction led to the arrest of both occupants, an adult man and woman.”
Saunderson said a search incidental to the arrest uncovered suspected crystal meth, suspected fentanyl, $5,000 in cash as well as other items often seen in the drug trade.
Both suspects were released without process as the investigation continues.
