Salmon Arm Drug Bust

A routine traffic stop turned into a major drug bust in the Shuswap.

On December 19, Salmon Arm RCMP stopped an Ontario bound semi for a routine traffic violation.

Police subsequently discovered 116 pounds of marijuana, with a street value of $350,000, concealed in the cab.

The drugs were apparently destined for the United States.

A 23-year-old Ontario man is in custody.
