Following a traffic stop that was conducted by Bay Roberts RCMP on July 4, 2024, a 27-year-old Bay Roberts man is facing drug charges.
Shortly after midnight on Thursday, police observed a vehicle that failed to stop at a stop sign in Bay Roberts and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle did not immediately stop for police and pulled into a residential driveway.
The traffic stop resulted in the arrest of a vehicle passenger and the seizure of a quantity of cocaine and more than 130 capsules of various prescription medications. The man was released from custody and is set to appear in court at a later date to face charges of drug possession under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
