  • Over 111K seized in New Westminster

Police in New Westminster say a recent traffic stop led to the seizure of more than 111-thousand dollars in cash, and drugs with a street value of about 100-thousand dollars.

They say officers with its Gang Suppression Unit pulled over a suspicious vehicle last Thursday and arrested the driver, who was prohibited from driving.

Police say they searched the vehicle and found the cash as well as vacuum-sealed packages of suspected fentanyl, cocaine and crystal meth.

Investigators say they are recommending charges related to trafficking a controlled substance, and are encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
