Drugs, cash seized following traffic stop at Grande Prairie gas station

Two people have been charged after police allegedly found drugs, cash, and a weapon after a traffic stop at a gas station earlier this month.

The Grande Prairie RCMP says they spotted a Ford Bronco believed used previously to flee from police at a Grande Prairie gas station. When officers moved in as the driver was pumping gas, they reportedly saw unstamped tobacco in the vehicle and arrested both the driver and the passenger.

A subsequent search of the vehicle and suspects allegedly turned up items including 30 grams of cocaine, a small amount of meth, 15 ml of GHB, a switchblade and around $1,600 in cash. A 30-year-old woman and 47-year-old man, both from Grande Prairie now face half a dozen charges each including possession for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of proceeds of crime.
