They stopped a vehicle on Highway 373 and found a 21-year-old woman without a valid driver’s licence driving an unregistered vehicle.

A 20-year-old male passenger had an outstanding arrest warrant and was also found breaching conditions of a recent Release Order.

He was placed under arrest and a search of the vehicle located a small backpack under his seat containing a large quantity of pills, believed to be Ecstasy, and over $2500 in cash.

Dustin Chubb, 20, was remanded into custody on charges including Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime and Fail to Comply with Release Order.

Norway House RCMP continue to investigate.
