Suspected drugs have been seized after a traffic stop near White River.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say they were responding to a traffic complaint on Highway 17 late Sunday afternoon when they stopped the vehicle north of White River, with subsequent investigation revealing suspected hydromorphone, alprazolam, and other unidentified pills.
That led to the arrest of a 54-year-old and a 21-year-old - both from Winnipeg - on charges of possession of a schedule I substance - opioid (other than heroin) - for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a schedule IV substance for the purpose of trafficking. Both have been released from custody, scheduled to appear in Marathon court at a later date.
