CORNWALL - Provincial police seized 29 kilograms of marijuana Friday evening in what started out as a routine traffic stop.
When an officer pulled over a vehicle around 5:30 p.m. on Highway 401 in South Dundas, it was likely the strong smell of the large cache of drugs that gave away their presence.
A search of the vehicle gave the officer grounds to arrest the two men inside.
Both the driver, 31, and his passenger, 41, are from Victoriaville, Que. and face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession, as well possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose because pepper spray was found in the vehicle.
The marijuana has an estimated street value of $150,000.
The two accused werre held in custody for a court appearance.
