Drugs, weapons, cash, and cigarettes were seized in Williams Lake on Sept. 25.
Police are investigating the potential drug trafficking following the arrest of a woman during a traffic stop for a motor vehicle act infraction.
When police identified the woman, who was the passenger in the vehicle, they learned she was out on a previous release order with a condition not to possess weapons. RCMP at the scene noticed the woman had a pocketknife clipped to her pants, and she was arrested for breach of conditions.
Police did a search of the vehicle incidentally to the arrest, and found approximately 40, one gram prepackaged tinfoil zips of suspected crack cocaine, a container of four grams of suspected crack cocaine, five grams of suspected fentanyl, two grams of suspected methamphetamine, three knives, a carton of illicit cigarettes, and $700 in cash.
The driver of the vehicle was released at the scene with a driver infraction. The arrested woman was later released on an appearance notice for the breach of conditions.
The investigation into the drug trafficking is ongoing.
