Road rage turns up cash

A road rage incident resulted in an unexpected find for Mounties in Williams Lake.

Shortly after 8 a.m. Aug. 19, police responded to an escalating road rage incident in the parking lot of McDonalds.

Police arrested two men at the scene and continued their investigation by searching one of the associated vehicles, as a knife was reported to have been brandished during the confrontation.

Police located a trace amount of marijuana in the vehicle as well as $19,200 in cash which was seized under proceeds of crime.

“Each incident is unique in the policing world, and sometimes those incidents yield really good results. In this instance some illegitimate cash-flow has been taken off the streets,” said Const. Taylor CALLENS.

The men have since been released from custody, and charges are pending.
