The Alberta RCMP Roving Traffic Unit recently conducted a joint “High Volume Stop” project in the Vermilion area, which resulted in several traffic violations, Criminal charges, seizures of drugs, firearms and cash.
The project took place from Sept. 15 to Sept. 20.
Additionally, RCMP executed 11 outstanding warrants and laid 28 criminal code charges, including five for driving while prohibited.
Officers seized 48 grams of cocaine, 15 grams of methamphetamines, money believed to be the process of crime, and two handguns – one of which was allegedly stolen from Ontario.
“While traffic safety is always a primary focus, we understand that criminals use our highways to transport illegal drugs, weapons, and money in their day-to-day activities,” said Cpl. Troy Savinkoff of the Alberta RCMP Media Group. “Officers that are properly trained and equipped can have a profound impact on interdicting these criminals as they travel throughout the province.”
