On Sunday, regional traffic police pulled over a pickup truck for speeding near Vanderhoof. It was soon revealed that the pickup also contained hundreds of dollars in cash and an estimated $45,000 in packaged marijuana. A ticket for excessive speed has been issued to the driver, his pickup impounded, and drug charges are pending. The suspect is a 52-year-old Vanderhoof resident with a history of police attention.
North District RCMP said Tuesday that this illustrates the value of regional traffic services supporting the small town detachments of the area.
