The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) has apprehended two people who are accused of drug trafficking.

Just after 3:00 a.m. on Monday, April 7, 2024, officers were called to the area of the 3500 block of 2 Ave South on an unrelated matter, when an officer claimed to have seen a vehicle commit multiple traffic violations.

The vehicle was stopped and police say the license plate did not match the vehicle.

According to LPS, the man driving the vehicle had a Canada-wide diving prohibition and a female passenger was wanted on an outstanding warrant.

A search of the vehicle was conducted and LPS says they seized 200 doses of fentanyl, 620 doses of methamphetamine, more than 130 narcotic pills, nearly $1,000 in cash and a stolen e-bike.
