On October 18th, 2016, at 1030 pm, Penticton Target Enforcement Unit members conducted a traffic stop on a black Ford Mustang on Green Mountain Road just west of Penticton. The female driver was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking and a search of her clothing located several grams of suspected crack cocaine.

A further search of the vehicle located items indicative of drug trafficking. “Police located score sheets, a number of cell phones, a digital scale and a substantial amount of money” advised Cst. Kyle RICHMOND of the TEU, “These items, when found together, help build the picture of a drug dealer”. Police also located over 50 grams of methamphetamine, several grams of heroin, and over 5 ounces of suspected cocaine.

The vehicle was seized as offence related property and towed. The 49 year old Penticton resident was held for a hearing before a Judiciary Justice of the Peace at which time she was released on a Recognizance of Bail with several conditions and a court date on November 2nd, 2016.
