A 37-year-old man from B.C., is facing multiple charges after a traffic stop near Kindersley turned up nearly 750 cannabis plants in his vehicle.
In a media release Friday, the RCMP said members of its Roving Traffic Unit and the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol were working in the Kindersley area on Wednesday. At about 8:40 a.m., officers pulled over a vehicle travelling east on Highway 7 for an equipment regulation offence.
“During the stop, the officers made several observations that resulted in the lone occupant being detained and then arrested for possession of cannabis for the purpose of distribution under the Cannabis Act,” the release read. “A search of the vehicle incidental to the driver’s arrest resulted in the seizure of 747 cannabis plants.”
