Three Taber residents are facing drug-trafficking charges after police stopped a vehicle and seized cocaine, meth, cash and items they allege were connected to drug trafficking.
Police said the traffic stop was conducted at about 3:30 a.m. Aug. 14 after officers reportedly observed driving violations.
During the investigation, officers reported seeing what they described as illegal, non-tax-paid cigarettes.
Police then searched the vehicle and seized more than 45 grams of powder cocaine, more than 39 grams of methamphetamine and more than 11 grams of crack cocaine.
The search also turned up drug-trafficking paraphernalia and about $1,400 in cash, police said.
A 43-year-old Taber woman faces two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. She was remanded in custody following a judicial interim release hearing and was scheduled to appear at the Lethbridge Court of Justice on Aug. 17.
A 34-year-old Taber man also faces two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. He was released on a release order with conditions following a judicial interim release hearing and is scheduled to appear at the Taber Court of Justice on Sept. 8.
