A recovered stolen vehicle led to a drug seizure on Saturday.
Members of the Fraser Lake RCMP were patrolling along Highway 16 near the Hoy Cross Forest Service Road when they observed a vehicle that was traveling well under the posted speed limit.
Not readily seeing an obvious reason for the cautious driving, police stopped the vehicle.
Once the vehicle was pulled over, police observed evidence to suspect that the driver was impaired by alcohol.
As police conducted an investigation of impaired driving, information was received from the Burns Lake RCMP of a recent stolen vehicle from their area.
The description provided matched that of the vehicle.
During a search of the vehicle, police found property which they believe to be stolen as well as a substantial amount of drugs.
Psilocybin, commonly referred to as magic mushrooms, as well as marijuana were located inside the vehicle. Two residents from Burns Lake were arrested for possession of stolen property, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and breaching conditions of a recognizance.
The driver also received a 90-day driving prohibition.
