Police investigated further and found illicit drugs in the vehicle. All three people in the car were arrested.

Officers seized around 26 grams of crack cocaine, 18 grams of powder cocaine, 20 grams of crystal methamphetamine, Canadian currency and a digital scale.

Three people face a number of charges including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
