Two Drug Arrests

Two Penticton men are facing drug charges.

On Thursday, RCMP arrested a 38-year-old and an 18-year-old in the parking lot of a building at the corner of Eckhardt Avenue and Main Street.

Officers seized about a half ounce of cocaine, cash and some trafficking paraphernalia.

Corporal Rick Dellebuur says the 18-year-old is well known to police.

“At the time of his arrest, he was on probation for drug convictions from December of 2006,” says Dellebuur.

Both men faced their charges on Friday.
